Question

Does the Cares Act Section 2302 apply for 2021 taxes?

Hi, I got surprised by the deferred payment of the employer's share of the Social Security tax on my 2020 taxes.  I don't specifically see that area in my 2021 taxes (using Turbo Tax), but wanted to be sure I'm not missing anything.  If it is there, I want uncheck it this time.  Thank you

    That option was only available for your 2020 taxes.  Although if you deferred the taxes one third of them will be due with your return this year.
