Question

How do I check if I am receiving a self employment tax deduction? It is my understanding that I can deduct half of my self employment tax to adjust my total income?

Yes, as a sole proprietor, you are able to deduct 50% of your self-employment tax "above the line", that is, as an adjustment to gross income on Schedule 1 (1040). This will be done automatically for you when you complete enter income and expenses for Schedule C (your business)
