Apologies for reviving a slightly old thread, but I'm just looking at the bill now and I'm pissed. In my case, TurboTax absolutely did something automatically...
My 1040 shows that I deferred employer SS taxes but I neither am self-employed nor clicked on "Tax relief related to COVID-19" that is needed to trigger this (when I first went to amend my return today, all of the four boxes had a "Start" button and not "Revisit"). Now I have to figure out if the supposed deferred employer SS taxes are actually federal income taxes that I'm supposed to pay and were erroneously deferred (in which case, I'm happy to pay), or if I shouldn't have to pay those taxes in the first place. Likely I will be re-doing my 1040 by hand to double-check, in which case we'll see if I continue to do so when we get to the 2021 tax season.
