The deduction for self-employment tax automatically transfers from Schedule SE to Form 1040 Schedule 2, Line 4. That amount then flows to Form 1040 page 2, line 23. If you completed Schedule C and had a profit, your Self-Employment Tax Deduction should automatically appear on Schedule 2 and Form 1040 page 2. You shouldn't need to enter anything.
