Stuck in a loop on step by step "some of your self-employment taxes may be eligible for deferral"

I'm stuck in a loop near the end of step-by-step the question review section,: "Some of your self-employment taxes may be eligible for deferral"

1. Select the Personal tab.

2. Choose Deductions and Credits

3. Select 'I'll choose what to work on'

4. Under 'Tax relief related to COVID-19, select select employment tax deferral.'

 

I tried yes and no, left blanks, i tried zero, i deleted schedule c, nothing gets me out of this loop.

 

Anyone else have this issue or a fix?

Since 0, blank, and deleting Schedule C did not clear the error, try:

  1. Delete the Sch SE that applies--(Sch SE-T is for Taxpayer, Sch SE-S for Spouse)--by following these steps:
    1. From the left menu, select Tax Tools.
    2. Select Tools.
    3. Scroll to Delete a Form.
    4. Scroll to Sch SE-T and/or Sch SE-S and select Delete.
  2. Return to the self-employment income & expenses interview in the Income & Expenses section and select Edit/Add.
    1. Select Edit for your business.
    2. Scroll down to Done so that the Sch SE is recalculated. 
    3. Finish any other questions in the self-employment interview and click Continue.
  3. Review the return again.

If this does not clear the error, then click this link for more information: 

Workaround for Sch SE-T error for deferring Self-Employment Taxes.

 

It means that you were initially eligible to defer self-employment tax due to a tax balance due, but are no longer eligible due to being eligible for a refund.
