UN wages are subject to SS tax NOT FICA, but on the SE Adj. worksheet it calculates SS and FICA tax. How can I make the SE Ajd. worksheet exclude the FICA on the SE wks and Sch2?

It’s been years since i had a UN employee but think i used 4852. The employee has to present a 1040 to the UN with amount in line 1 to get reimbursement. 

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround
