Self employed

Here are the steps for how to enter it, with some screenshots to help you find them.

We're looking first for the screen "Let's check for uncommon situations" where the box "Employed by a foreign government or international organization" should be checked. 

If you don't see this screen after the W-2 entry screens, try deleting the W-2 and entering it again.  

After this screen be sure to click on Done on the W-2 summary page.

It is after the summary screen that you should next see the prompt for self-employment tax (based on the checkbox in the first screenshot)


Especially when working in the online version of TurboTax, sometimes entries get "stuck" based on prior answers and deleting the item and re-entering will often fix it.  For good measure, it's also a good idea to clear cache and cookies (or switch to Icognito mode on your browser) after deleting the entry and before entering again. 

If these things don't work please reply back and let us know which version of TurboTax you are using, and if you're working online or if you've installed the app on a computer. 

While I can't be reached by phone, I'll keep an eye on this thread and either I or one of my colleagues will try to respond to you quickly to any additional questions.
