Employee Max Roth Solo contribution

I am using Turbotax Home & Business version I purchased. I am a self-employed independent contractor.  I know I can contribute $19,500 to Roth Solo employee contribution + $6,500 catch up contribution.  I plan to send contribution after filing taxes, but before April 15, 2022.   When I enter these figures + employer contribution of $38,500 (as I am my own employer) under page Individual and Roth 401(k) Plans, my current Federal Refund amount flips into a "Taxes Owed".    Why is this happening?  What am I doing wrong?  Should I not enter any amount on this page, and get the refund and then send the amounts in to my investment financial institute?   Need help please.

@fjk031  You are entering the contributions in the wrong place.  Delete the contributions that you entered and then follow these instructions to enter your self employed retirement plan contributions.

This really does not help.  The link only takes me to unrelated and on-going conversations covering other topics.

On the employer/employee side of it, the contribution is limited to 25% of the employee compensation for the year.
