My original filing had a mistake on it, and called it self-employed. I looked out what to do and it said to clear it all out and start over. I tried clearing it out but it again, says self employed?

It depends, if you received a 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, or 1099-K reporting income then you are usually considered self-employed.

See Am I considered self-employed? for more specific information.

Did you enter a 1099-Misc or 1099-NEC that defaulted to generating self-employment income on a Schedule C? I wonder whether that was the source of the 'self-employee' message that you refer to. If so, you were correct to delete and start over but, I suspect, that you re-entered the form and ended up in the same place.

Do you expect to report self-employment income on a Schedule C?

If so, first establish the self-employment activity at Federal / Income & Expenses / Your income and expenses / Self-employment income and expenses. Then add the 1099 income as income to the self-employment activity.

Are you not expecting to report self-employment income on a Schedule C? If not, are you reporting a 1099 form? Does it report something other than self-employment income?
