How do I make payments for my deferred self-employment social security tax - I did not receive instructions at the end of the filing procedure?

there was a link at the time I was opting to defer self-employment social security tax but noting at the end of the process. Will I get a statement from the IRS?

You will send your payment marked as a "deferral payment" to the IRS by December 31, 2019. The IRS has not yet created a code for this in the electronic payment system "EFTPS" or created a voucher for this purpose.  


We expect this to be released in the coming months. 

 

Keep an eye on this link for updates: What employers need to know about deferral of payroll taxes.  Note that while this link refers to "employers", it also applies to those who are self-employed.
