Question

Why is a value showing up on my Schedule SE "Farm Optional Method" line even though I did not claim any farm expenses or income?

    Do you  mean line 14 for $5,640? That number is a part of the form, maximum income for optional methods. No worries.

      I'm having the same issue.  Under the Turbo Tax review it wants me to type in

      line 22.  Enter the portion of line 5a that can be attributed to March 27, 2020,

      through December 31, 2020
       
      If I keep it at 0.  It then proceeds to 
       
      line 18. Enter the portion of line 3 that can be attributed to March 27, 2020,
      through December 31, 2020
       
      If I keep that on Zero it then proceeds to 
       
      line 20.  Enter the portion of lines 15 and 17 that can be attributed to March 27,
      2020, through December 31, 2020
       
      Your saying its perfectly normal for line 14 to be $5640 even though I have nothing to do with a farm?  This is very confusing and needs to be fixed.  Should I just keep everything else at 0 then?
