Anyone know of a website with how-to info on filling out IRS forms?

Since my finances are really simple, I always fill out my own tax forms, without use of software. This year, the IRS got rid of the short form of Schedule SE (which I've been using for nearly thirty years, *sigh*). I'm having problems with the long form of SE, and the IRS's instruction manual for SE skips over the lines that are giving me trouble. Does anyone know of a reliable website that might offer instructions/examples for tax forms?

I'm not seeing much yet beyond the's own instructions. https://rethority.com/schedule-se/ has a basic summary of what goes into each line (scroll about 3/4 of the way down, to the heading "Part 1: Self-Employment Tax").

Searching with your general business sector (e.g. "how to fill out Schedule SE for performing arts", or for writers, or whatever) might help find a more relevant and detailed example.
