My summer employer didn't withhold federal, social security or Medicare taxes, but did withhold state taxes. How do I correct this within TurboTax? File a Schedule SE? Since I made > $7000, I am also getting a Roth over contribution error message saying I didn't make any money since box 1 is blank. Should I add the figure I got for state wages to box 1?

Was the income not reported on a W-2? How was the $7,000 reported on the 1040 income tax return?
In TurboTax Online, wages not reported on a W-2 may be reported as follows:
The entry will be reported on line 1h of the Federal 1040 tax return.
Was your employer perhaps a school or university where you are enrolled? In that case, they and you are exempt from social security and medicare withholding.
Box 1 of your W-2 can't be blank, that is your gross wages. Boxes 2-6 can sometimes be blank depending on the situation. If you have state wages in box 16 and state tax withheld in box 17, that box 16 number should probably be in box 1 as well. You need to talk to your employer.
I went ahead and followed JamesG1's advice. Thank you to both of you!
