If you are a minister of a church, your earnings for the services you perform in your capacity as a minister are subject to self-employment tax unless you have requested and received an exemption. Your earnings are then reported on Schedule C.
This includes any salary that is paid to you as an employee of the church (even though reported on Form W-2, the church does not withhold Social Security or Medicare taxes),
Since Self-Employment Tax was granted a deferment in 2020 (the CARES Act), this may be what TurboTax is referring to if you elected that option last year.

Or, it could be that you probably did not defer anything. Your employer was allowed to defer this tax.
I would ignore this as this will not affect your overall tax return. Don't be surprised if you don't receive a W2C despite what the screen says.
