You can't. Your SEP contribution has to be calculated after your tax return is complete in all other respects.
A SEP contribution by a sole proprietor is not a business expense, it's an individual above-the-line deduction. As fanfare said, it cannot be used to reduce self-employment taxes. It only reduces AGI. Only SEP contributions for your employees (other than yourself) are a business expense that is deductible on Schedule C.
