The Schedule SE can be deleted, but if you have any self-employment income (or household employees you pay) - it is going to reappear. It has to be included. The instructions above are just to reset the form, but it will not go away completely. Do you have a Schedule C or Schedule H included with your return? If so, you can't permanently remove the SE schedule. Having Schedule C or H means you have to have Schedule SE, but you do NOT have to defer any tax - it is just a matter of getting the form through the review. Some fields need a 0 and some fields need to be blank. They have been working to prevent this error, but apparently, they have not been successful.
If Line 30 and 12e are both empty, you are not deferring anything and can file. There are different errors that may pop up during review depending on what forms you have included in your return. Try entering the 0, then continue through the review, if you get an error with the 0, delete the zero and leave the field blank and you should be allowed to e-file. @Terbojin
