Please clarify:

 

Did you receive a W-2. or a 1099-NEC.  The 1099-NEC would provide for the previous taxes being withheld.

 

If you did get a W-2, you should contact the issuing company.

 

Where do I enter "Deferred income payment"?

  1. Click Income & Expenses at the top of the page.
  2. Scroll down to "Less Common Income"
  3. Show More.
  4. Scroll down to "Miscellaneous Income"
  5. Start/Revisit.
  6. Scroll down to "Other Reportable Income"
  7. Here is where you can enter the description and amount.
