Self employed

Upon review, your TurboTax file has over $65k in self-employment income on 2 Schedule Cs with no expenses reported to reduce the income on either one.  Your maximum allowable contribution after deducting 1/2 of self-employment tax and applying the self-employed reduced rate of 20%, is $13,241 against a maximum limit of $61,000.  This is a 20% contribution not 39%.
