HAving a W2 with box for statutory employee checked and filled out sched c exp

I have just about completed my return and was going through the error check and I am confused by the error message

I have manually input my W2 and checked box for statutory employee and put in the income and it was brought over into my sched c i believe and i entered all my business expenses yet now the error message looks confusing and wants me to delink or whatever yet when i print out a prelim copy of my return it does not show the income on line one and correctly shows the net amount on sched 1 line

what am i doing wrong should i ignore the error message ?

I'm not sure what the error message is. Can you give additional details.

As far as your tax return:

Your 1040 line 1 should not include the income from the Statutory employee W-2.
It correctly goes to Schedule 1 line3
And is posted (Possibly with other income) to form 1040 lone 8

If this is how it is posted, I don't think you did anything wrong.

Do you have more than one businesses?
