Enter the net self-employment income, since the program is trying to split self-employment tax paid between states.

Self-employment income does not include rental income.

But it is not possible to calculate net income for a part of the year since net income includes many annual deductions like health insurance and self-employment tax. The purpose of this calculation is to calculate self-employment tax, so it's not clear when it should be deducted from the gross income. How can you deduct what you are going to calculate by deducting it? That's a mess.
