I enter it on Screen 15, under pension, profit-sharing plans (code 29 if you speak batch entry).

IF you are doing the W-2, make sure the retirement plan box is checked.

Is the expectation to calculate the SEP based upon the W-2? Is the expectation to calculate the SEP based upon the K-1 figures, or distribution?

I do think we need a bit more info from @gclark .  

Perhaps s/he is actually asking how to enter info in the individual module rather than the S-Corp module.

@gclark Could you add a bit more information. Are you trying to create a SEP deduction on the 1040 for the shareholder? Do they any other SE income?

That is not allowed. The SEP based on his wages is only allowed on the 1120S return.
