Medicare tax was paid the year the deferred income was earned. I should not be paying it again

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.
