Yes do a preview of your 1040 and you will see this.

To Preview a copy of the Form 1040 prior to paying for TurboTax.
A.     Go to Tools in left side of screen and click on Tools
B.    A box titled: Tool Center will open and below the 3 boxes is: Other helpful Links…
C.    Click on the first one: View Tax Summary
D.    Then in left side of screen click on: Preview My 1040
E.    You can scroll up and down and see the numbers on a working copy of your Form 1040

it is line 57 self-employment tax (also on Sch 4)
