I received a letter to make my deferred payment of the employer's share of the social security tax (Cares act 2302). How do I pay?

When I go to the EFTPS system to pay it asks me to choose the form. I chose 1040 and then deferred social security tax. After that you have to enter the amount and choose a tax period. It asks for MONTH and year. It should only be 2020, no? I went through each month and keep getting an error message that I've chosen the wrong tax period. Anybody know how I can pay or what do choose? I have to pay part until the end of this year and the rest until the end of next year. Thanks so much

Thanks, that's what I tried but like I said, it gives me an error message when I enter 2020 as the tax period and it also requires that I enter a month.
