I am not sure whether you want to claim the deferral or delete the entry. In TurboTax Online Self-Employed, I was able to enter a self-employment tax deferral and pass Review. Then I was able to remove self-employment tax deferral and pass Review. Follow these steps. Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal. Across the top of the screen, click on Deductions & credits. Under Your tax breaks, scroll down to Self-employment tax deferral. Click on Edit/Add to the right of Self-employment tax deferral. At the screen Do you want more time to pay your self-employment tax?, click Yes. At the screen Let's start by getting your eligible income, I have left the dollar amount that was previously entered, others change this amount to $0. Click on Continue. At the screen Tell us how much you'd like to defer, delete the dollar amount. Click Continue. Click through Federal Review to make sure than the Review issue has been removed. At the screen Some of your self-employment taxes may be eligible, click Skip.
