Retirement tax questions

As @xmasbaby0 implies, your situation strongly suggests that you did not report your self-employment income on Schedule C of your tax returns as you should have.  If you had done so, TurboTax would have automatically generated Schedule SE, which calculates your Medicare and Social Security tax.  

 

If your previous year tax returns do not include Schedules C and SE, then you can file amended returns.
