What is this "SS reduction tax"?  It sounds great, I'd like MY SS tax reduced 😉

You mean the SE tax deferral?     If the return had a refund on it, you weren't allowed to defer the SE tax, since you cant defer something thats already been paid.

Yep... I'm guess that's what the OP meant.  BUT, words, *specific* words are important in this profession.

Deferral & reduction do NOT mean the same thing 🙂
