I use turbotax self employed online version. I notice even after leaving the qualified family and leave section blank while answering the questions . It mistakenly pulls total social security + medicare+ federal income tax from line 8a into line 8c instead of leaving line 8c blank. Is anybody else having the same problem?

It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2021" file that is experiencing this issue.

You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.  If you would like to do this, here are the instructions:

Go to the black panel on the left side of your program and select Tax Tools.

Then select Tools below Tax Tools.
A window will pop up which says Tools Center.
On this screen, select Share my file with Agent.
You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number.
Reply to this thread with your Token number. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information.

We will then be able to see exactly what you are seeing and we can determine what exactly is going on in your return and provide you with a resolution.

Your return is correct as is. If you manually go through the Worksheet 4 from the instructions for line 8c, you see it is just a poorly worded line item on the return. It is calculating the maximum credit allowed. Since you left the section blank, it is correctly not reporting any credit to the amount you owe.

For access to the Worksheet or more information on Schedule H please see 2021 Instructions for Schedule H (2021).
