Can I delete SE form if W-2 is used?

[CherylW · Accepted solution]

Yes, you can.

If your return doesn't have any income that you pay SE tax on (Schedule C), then you may delete it.

But first, go to line 57, Form 1040, to make sure there isn't an amount there.  To do that:

1.       Go to Tax Tools on the left-hand side.

2.       Go to Tools.

3.       Go to View Tax Summary.

4.       Click Preview my 1040 from the left-hand side.

Yes there is an amount in Line 57. Now what do I do?

That means you have a 1099 that SE tax is assessed on, and you have to pay it, you can't just delete it.
