I did not file self employed last year but it’s saying I did

So, I never filed my taxes last year. I logged into turbo tax, and it’s saying I did not complete my 2018 return. It’s also saying I was self employed, which I wasn’t?

possibly asking about self-employment because of the version you're using.  by the way on-line preparation is now closed for 2018.  so now you'll have to buy the desktop version for a PC or MAC

Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2018 returns is now permanently closed.  You had until midnight on Tuesday, October 15 to finish and attempt to e-file; if your e-file was rejected you had until October 20 to make corrections and re-file. Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2018 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).

If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.

They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Monday-Friday.

If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.

You should be aware that, if you received a 1099-MISC showing "Non-employee compensation" in Box 7  for work or services that you provided, the IRS regards you as self-employed for that income.
