I did not have any self employment income in 2022, so why did Turbotax switch to a self employment form?

I do not understand why Turbotax switched to a self-employed filing when I have no self employed income in 2022.

If you received a 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, or 1099-K you may need to change the way you enter your form if you are truly not self-employed.  

 

You are self-employed if you’re an individual who:

  • Is the sole proprietor of an unincorporated business
  • Works as an independent contractor, consultant, or freelancer
  • Is a member of a business partnership
  • Owns or is part of a limited liability company (LLC)
  • Earns income through investments
  • Earns income through rental property

You may not think of yourself as running a business, but you’re considered self-employed if you engage in business-like activities.

 

Business activities include any activity where you:

  • Intend to make a profit (even if you operate at a loss)
  • Have regular transactions or production of income
  • Make ongoing efforts to sustain, grow, or further the interests of your business

See Am I considered self-employed? for more specific information.

I claimed self-employment for 2021 but did not work self-employment in 2022 but I am still being charged for self employment filing.

@rent1986 If you have not registered, paid or e-filed already then you can clear and start over in a less expensive version of the software.   If you have already paid or e-filed, it is too late and you cannot clear or start over.
