There is an issue in TurboTax online that affects some customers. The choice to pay SE tax on "both" wages and housing does not "stick" and the program calculates SE tax on wages only. This is a bit difficult to diagnose because the tax forms are hidden with TurboTax online until you pay the fee.
Some customers have reported that deleting the W-2 and entering it again fixes the problem. If not, the only other fix is to use TurboTax desktop version installed on your own computer from a CD or downloadable installer. You can buy direct from TurboTax or from Amazon or Staples for a little bit cheaper. You can also transfer your partial tax file from TurboTax online to the desktop version so you can pick up where you left off without starting from scratch.
