How can line 11 of "Deferral for Certain Schedule H or SE Filers Smart Worksheet" be too large if its value is 0 and line 10 of the wks is a negative number?

Line 10 of the worksheet is a negative number. On Line 11 if I use 0, I'm told it's too large. If I use a negative number I'm told the minimum is zero?

THANK YOU! This has been the worst TurboTax experience I have ever been a part of. I got the same error that "0." was too large. In addition, it shows be just about 4 lines of a long tax form and tells me that line 11 is wrong. Scrolling up and down there are multiple line 11s and I couldn't figure out what number it was wanting. I found this post and deleted the text box and got the same error. It took three tries for it to actually take. What's worse is this appears to be a form to see if you want to defer your self employment taxes and I had already answered "No" and it immediately responded, "OK let's calculate to see how much you can defer" and then created this worksheet. That is just the drop in the bucket with how awful TurboTax has been this year. This is my 8th year in a row using Turbo Tax and it just might be my last.
