Where do I enter payment of deferred payroll taxes from CARES act deferral?
In 2021, I elected to defer part of my 2020 payroll taxes (self-employed) on Schedule 3. I repaid this deferred amount in 2021. Do I need to enter this amount somewhere when filing my 2021 taxes?

Your payment was recorded on your 2020 IRS tax transcript.
There is no entry to be made on your 2021 tax return.

How was the payment recorded with my 2020 taxes if I didn’t pay it then?
See my reply to your earlier post about the deferred self-employment tax. Please keep your related questions in one place. Do not post separate questions about the same issue. When information is scattered in multiple threads it's confusing and hard to follow, and hard to see the whole picture.

No worries. Feel free to ignore next time. Sometimes you are reading different threads to gain more information, and it’s okay to respond in both.
