On line 27 why does my deduction fro self employment show up here

That's a deduction that's allowable which represents part of your Self-Employment tax. It's a deduction that recognizes that as a self-employed taxpayer you have to pay both the employer portion and the employee portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes, whereas an employee only has to pay half this amount and the employer pays the other.
