Where on the tax form is my self-employment tax calculated and charged? Because of the tax changes, I am no longer itemizing, and no Form SE was filed by TurboTax.

Do not confuse entering your self-employment expenses on Schedule C with itemizing deductions on Schedule A.  Those are two separate things.  You still need to enter any business expenses incurred as a result of your self-employment.

I am not asking about expenses, I'm asking about FICA taxes.

Do not confuse Itemized Deductions Deductions on Schedule A with your self employment expenses on schedule C.  You get both the Standard Deduction and Business expenses.  Schedule C and SE are still there.

Schedule C net Profit or Loss now goes to 1040 Schedule 1 line 12.  Then the total on schedule 1 line 22 goes to 1040 line 6.  It is listed to the left of line 6 and is added into the total on line 6.  So line 6 can be more or less than the total of lines 1-5.

The self employment tax is on the 1040 Schedule 4 line 57 which goes to 1040 line 14.  The SE tax is in addition to your regular income tax on the net profit.

TurboTax did not file a Schedule 4 for me. Why is that? I think my return is incomplete.

Did you get schedule C?  Do you have a profit?
