How to remove "self-employee" from my return? it wont work when i cleared it.

My original filing had a mistake on it, and called it self-employed. I looked out what to do and it said to clear it all out and start over. I tried clearing it out but  it again, says self employed?

It depends, if you received a 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, or 1099-K reporting income then you are usually considered self-employed.  

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

Hello, i did not received this and thus myattempt to remove the old application to start over. This is how Turbo Tax said to get to the basica application.

Did you enter a 1099-Misc or 1099-NEC that defaulted to generating self-employment income on a Schedule C?  I wonder whether that was the source of the 'self-employee' message that you refer to.  If so, you were correct to delete and start over but, I suspect, that you re-entered the form and ended up in the same place.

Do you expect to report self-employment income on a Schedule C? 

If so, first establish the self-employment activity at Federal / Income & Expenses / Your income and expenses / Self-employment income and expenses.  Then add the 1099 income as income to the self-employment activity.

Are you not expecting to report self-employment income on a Schedule C?  If not, are you reporting a 1099 form?  Does it report something other than self-employment income?
