This diagnostic just popped up with the new update today, 4/23/21 - "This return has Schedule SE and/or Schedule H taxes eligible for deferral. You must make an entry to indicate if this is a new tax return that must follow the new deferral worksheet rules, or if this is an already filed tax return that used the old deferral worksheet rules." It requires a choice of 1 or 2 even if you are not electing to defer, but the choices of entries makes no sense if you are not deferring.
Solution: The diagnostic will occur if the taxpayer is eligible to defer SE taxes, regardless if he/she is electing to defer or not. In a situation where the taxpayer is not deferring SE tax, we recommend entering a 2 in the field so that the diagnostic will be resolved. There will be no change to the tax return when this happens.
