It depends why Schedule 3, Line 12e would be in your return. Schedule 3, Line 12e, refers to both Schedule H or SE filers.
The error is generated because the system needs to update. Perhaps initially when entering your details, you were going to owe taxes. Then, as more details were entered, the status changed to a refund.
This would have made any tax deferral of Self Employment tax on Sch H or Sch SE tax no longer valid.
To get past this error, first try entering a blank as a response. If there is a 0 or spaces in this cell, delete them.
In either case, you must get back temporarily to owing money in order to decline the deferral. Then, go back to your current details to resolve the issue.
To do this in TurboTax, follow these steps:
If you are filing Schedule H, try deleting Schedule H using the steps included for deleting Sch SE-T. Then, re-enter Schedule H.
To delete Schedule H:
To Re-add Schedule H:
If you are self-employed:
First, revisit the section for the Self-employment tax deferral entry and accept it, change it, and then decline it by deferring 0:
Secondly, if the error is still in the return, it is because Sch SE-T or Sch SE-S is not updating properly. To update the return automatically, it is best to close out completely and close the browser, as well. Re-open in Chrome on a PC.
Thank you! I spent several hours trying to resolve this. Your suggestion to leave the field blank on Schedule 3 line 12e worked. I had already verified that I did not want to take the deferral in other sections of TurboTax.
