Why am I receiving notices to pay deferred 2020 social security taxes when the IRS site says I do not owe anything?

You owe the SS administration not the IRS if you deferred your SS taxes as allowed this year.  Now did you have a refund on your tax return ?   And did the IRS keep all or part of it?  

 

 

Check if you have Schedule 3 line 12e.  The IRS has also been mailing letters to remind people to pay their half by Dec 31.  

 

The deferred tax appears as a refundable credit on Schedule 3 line 12e, "Deferral for certain Schedule H or SE filers." It was subtracted from the tax you had to pay with your tax return. You have to pay half the deferred tax by December 31, 2021 (the end of this month), and the remainder by December 31, 2022.
