Taxpayer may or may not elect to defer payment of self-employment tax but wishes to reduce penalty for underpaying self employment tax due to Covid-19. Need the screens to use.

Lacerte has this snifty feature:
Go to where you expect the info/amount to appear. Right click on that field, then click on "jump to input". That will *usually* take you to where you to input the info (or give you the various options when there are multiple places).

Also, please be aware that this early in the game, not ALL (even most?) forms are ready.
