My Statutory Employee W2 is not linking with my line of work business expenses. It is asking me to enter income. How do I get the W2 to link to it?

I have received a W2 marked statutory employee for the past 7 years.  Each year the W2 links to my Line of Work for Self Employment section where I enter my expenses.  This year it is not linking and it is asking me to enter income and W2 Statutory Employee is not an option.  I tried deleting the W2 and then I tried clearing my return and starting over.  I want to use the same line of work I have used in the past to keep the historical data so I don't want to delete that line of work.  Is there any way to link them together or will it fix it when it is checking the return?

I figured out the issue.  On the question "Tell us more about your role as a statutory employee" I was choosing "None of these describe what I do", because one of them is only partially correct.  When I choose that option it does not link my W2 to my line of business.  If I choose any of the other options, it does link them.
