Not being reported on Sch C.  Why isn't system calculating SE tax?  Do I need to tag it as subject to SE income somehow/where?  thanks!  eric j

If its not a trade or business, why would it be subject to SE?

With a 1099MISC and a figure in Box 7, IRS computers will be looking for Sch C, Id put it on there and then mark NO to the QBI question so that its not considered a trade or business.

Im not sure how to make the SE income and Sch SE flow anywhere without the Sch C, sorry.

Box 7 should go to Sch C

Because I can justify why the activity related to the SE income doesn't rise to the level of a trade or business.  There is no requirement that SE income must be reported on a Sch C.  I avoid including Sch C if possible.  thanks
