How do I resolve a glitch within my return? In the income, Self-employment section I resolve the vehicle/home office deductions, it just spins or says "Needs Review".

As a self employed person, you’ll need to pay your own income and Social Security taxes. Most taxpayers with self-employment income make quarterly estimated tax payments based on the amount of income the business earns.

 

Self-employed taxpayers also need to pay self-employment Social Security and Medicare taxes by filing Schedule SE with their tax return.  The rate is 15.3% of your self-employment earnings. But you get to deduct half of those taxes on your 1040 as an adjustment to income.  You’ll need to file Schedule C to declare your income from your self-employment wages.  To see what you can deduct, click here: Deductions
