Yes.  TurboTax calculates these taxes automatically on independent contractor income and includes them on your tax return.  They are called self-employment taxes and you will find them on line 57 of your Form 1040.  Also, a Schedule SE will be attached to your return showing the calculation of these taxes.

I went to a SSA office locally and it do not appear as reported from my Turbo Tax since it was filed on 2017,2018,2019. They said I have to go to IRS to resolve this issue. I am still in need !
