The calculation is correct.  While you can only deduct 25% of your net income as a SEP deduction, you can contribute up to 100% of your net earnings.  So, since you have the maximize box checked, TurboTax is calculating using 100% of your net earnings.  If you want to maximize your deduction, you will need to calculate the 25% and enter that instead of checking the maximize box.
