I am getting charged for self-employment tax, but I am social security exempt. I'm assuming that I should be exempt from paying that tax? How would I file that in Turbo Tax Home & Business?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
You'll need to file your return by mail rather than e-file to claim your exemption.
According to IRS Publication 517 "If you filed Form 4029 and received IRS approval not to be taxed on those earnings, and you don't have any other income subject to SE tax, don't file Schedule SE (Form 1040). Instead, enter “Form 4029” on the dotted line next to Schedule 4 (Form 1040), line 57."
To do this in TurboTax desktop, switch to the Forms view and Open Form "Schedule 4". When that form populates, double-click on the line 57 amount. This will take you to the 1040 Worksheet. Click on the amount on line 57, then Ctrl+D which will turn the amount red and enter zero on that line. When you print out the tax forms, write “Form 4029” on the dotted line next to Schedule 4, line 57.

@JulieR - thanks this is really helpful! I am trying to apply for the same but for non resident alien purposes. Would this be covered by 'Form 4019' or is that only for religious grounds?
I see an answer from 2019 - but it doesn't apply - Can't find Schedule 4, and there is no line 57 on 1040. Can you please help?
