Schedule SE is automatically generate when I fill out Schedule C. But with the agreement between US and France, I am not subject to self-employment tax. But when I tried to delete Schedule SE, it did not go away.
You are correct. You aren’t required to pay SE tax when any of the following applies:
You are subject only to the social security laws of a foreign country under the provisions of a social security agreement between the United States and that country.
This is how to correct your situation:

This did not solve my problem - it still created self-employment tax which I should not have to pay
You entered your total profit from the Schedule C. Enter it as a negative
I can see how entering the Other SE Nonfarm Profit (loss) as a negative would cancel the Schedule C income and remove the self employment tax but this seems to me as a work-around which the IRS may not appreciate. All I need to do is delete the Self Employment tax form (SE)
OK, I see what you are recommending - by putting in the loss in SE Other non-farm profit (loss) it eliminates the form SE. Thanks. (Too bad Turbo Tax doesn't have a more direct solution for us overseas filers)
Hello,
Did you ever find an answer to this question? I have the same problem...
You will not be able to delete Schedule SE in TurboTax as long as there is data flowing in from another source.
The solution by Community contributor @Cindy0H is the correct one.
@hankgturner The IRS does not see the Schedule SE Adjustments Worksheet. Worksheets to not get filed with the tax return.
