Retirement tax questions
"When you click Start or Update beside this section you may see a message that you do not qualify to defer the self-employment tax. If this is the case and you did enter a number during the error check process, then be aware that nothing is being calculated as part of your return as a deferral. "
This is not correct. I was already receiving a refund when the review decided I needed to enter a number on line 18. I entered the number, not realizing it was okay to enter 0, and it changed my refund to a larger amount. I go to this section and it tells me I do not qualify for the deferral since I am getting a refund, but my refund still includes this deferred amount. Now I cannot go back and change it to 0, as I do not want to defer any payments. What can I do?
