Retirement tax questions

One more thing that can be done is to close out completely and close the browser, as well.

 

Re-open in Chrome on a PC. In your case, try an incognito Chrome browser and/or delete your cache & cookies for at least 7 days under the Basic tab. (Ctrl + Shift + Del) before opening your return, again to get your return to update. 

 

Try these steps once you have returned to the program:

  1. Delete the Sch SE-T--by following these steps:
    1. From the left menu, select Tax Tools.
    2. Select Tools.
    3. Scroll to Delete a Form.
    4. Scroll to Sch SE-T and select Delete.
  2. Return to the self-employment income & expenses interview in the Income & Expenses section and select Edit/Add.
    1. Select Edit for your business.
    2. Scroll down to Done so that the Sch SE is recalculated. 
    3. Finish any other questions in the self-employment interview and click Continue.
  3. Run the Review at this point because the system should be updated and the error should be cleared.

If there are still issues, g​​​​o through the temporary income protocol from the steps listed earlier in this thread:

  1. ​​​​​​​Enter a temporary amount as income in the self-employment section that will result in you not having a refund.
  2. Decline to defer any self-employment tax.
  3. Remove the temporary income.
  4. Review the return again.

Kudos to you for your perseverance!
