That appears to be true from what your research turned up, @Anonymous.
However, you cannot pay the social security tax in through your form 1040. You will need to contact the employer who paid the wages and see if they can pay the social security tax in by deducting additional amounts from future wages, or amending the W-2 form that was issued.
In the future, you should instruct the employer to withhold the social security tax.
