Somehow the farm optional method was used on my tax form. How do I remove this? I don't have a farm.

Yes, you are good to go! It was not TurboTax- it is actually prefilled on the IRS form.  See Schedule SE (Form 1040)

Go back to the Underpayment Penalties and Revisit the section.

Thanks for your response.  My underpayment penalties hadn't been started, and after i went through and declined them this was the result.

That is pre-filled by TurboTax but is not filed because the amount is 2/3 of gross farm income, but if you did not have farm income, it will not be used.  @dotsonbryan

Ok.  So I am good to proceed as-is?  Seems odd to have anything in there at all.  Thanks again @MaryK4 !
