Question

Do I include the Employer FICA payroll tax deduction under expenses (Taxes) under self employed, or does TT automatically deduct it if I don't list it?

Typically, I would list it as a qualified expense....but I noticed that after I listed it, TT listed a similar addition deduction.

you can not take a schedule C deduction for the "employer's" share of payroll taxes for your SE income only for that you paid for employees. Turbotax computes your SE taxes and 1/2 gets deducted on schedule 1 line 15
