The question is misleading..."Enter the portion of line 3 that can be attributed to March 27,2020 through December 31, 2020"

 

The program should ask a second question ... do you want to defer this tax to future?

For a property Schedule SE, that question is correct.

I agree, it would be nice to actually have a 'required field' asking if we WANT to defer or not.  But if you to the 1040 Worksheet, then Line 12 of Schedule 3 (where the deferral happens), you can enter zero in the worksheet to eliminate the deferral.
