Huh? Self employment is one person. One Schedule C. The self employment tax goes to the person the Schedule C is for. You can't allocate it. Are there 2 Schedule C, one for each of you?

There is no way to manually allocate a Self-Employment tax if you file a joint return with two Schedule C's. Self-employment tax is determined by the income and expenses each Schedule C reports for each person.
