Form Sch SE is not picking up the W-2 wages and reporting it. I can enter an override, but appears i will not be able to file electronically. Do i need to report his error to the IRS

Are you a church employee? W-2 wages are only entered on Schedule SE line 5a for church employees (as defined in the IRS Instructions for Schedule SE). If you are a church employee, after you entered your W-2 did you check the "Religious employment" box on the screen that asks about uncommon situations, and answer the follow-up questions?

Thanks for that is NOT the issue. I have to enter an override in that slot. I don't recall having to do that in previous years.

Can you tell us a bit more about why you need to pay SE tax on a W-2? We have different steps for clergy, statutory employees, and foreign government and international organization members who are subject to this tax.
