Why am I being charged for self employment charge of 119.00 if i am not self employed

I worked as a line cook and did not get tips, I got paid an hourly wage.  Don't understand why I am automatically being charged $119.00 for self employment

You must have upgraded to the Self Employed version.   Did you get a 1099NEC for something?

 

To go back to a lower version you can try to clear and start over  https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-online/00/26444

Or go to the IRS Free File programs

Do you get a W-2 for that job?

In addition to the other posts in this thread, even if you did get a W-2, if the "statutory employee" box is checked, or if you accidentally selection that box in the program, that would be treated as self employment income.
