Since you are using TurboTax Self Employed, presumably you are a sole proprietor with net profit calculated on Schedule C or Schedule F.

You do not enter your elective deferrals separately.  The total of your employee elective deferrals and your employer contribution goes in the single box for SIMPLE contributions on the Your Contributions page in the self-employed retirement section.  TurboTax then places the deduction on Form 1040 line 28.
