I owe a few hundred dollars in federal taxes, but I overpaid social security by a few thousand dollars. When I preview my 1040 worksheet, the schedule 3 - 11, shows that I have a Total Excess Social Security. However, I'm unable to file my taxes without paying the federal taxes I owe. Does the social security credit get returned to me another way? Why won't what I owe on federal taxes just be deducted from the excess social security?
Thanks for any help!
