You put it on line 18 which is probably the problem because if must be reported on line 17. That comes form the "Tax Payments Worksheet" and Social Security paid comes from the "Social Security Benefits Worksheet" line B which comes form what yiu enter into the Social Security SSA-1099 interview Box 6.
If reported on the wrong line the IRS computer does not search elsewhere for it. If entered in the wrong location and the IRS computer cannot find any reason for "other tax payments" it will disallow it.
Call the IRS number on the letter you received and explain that you simply entered the tax withheld on the wrong line. They will tell you if you need to amend or not.
If you have withholding from the SS payments then when you enter the SSA1099 there is a box 6 for the withholding ... if you correctly enter it on that input screen it will go to the correct line of the return and you will never get an IRS letter in the future.
