Due to job change, I paid SS taxes to both my employers w/ a large excess. Turbo Tax software seems to be applying that SS excess tax payment to the Federal Taxes I owe.

Why does it seem like Turbo Tax Software is deducting excess SS taxes paid from Federal Taxes owed?

Yes that sounds right. It either increases a refund or reduces a tax due. It's included on your return. What did you expect?

Check 1040 Schedule 3 line 10 for it. Then Schedule 3 goes to 1040 line 31.

Thank you, this is what I understood but I was not sure SS taxes and Federal Taxes would be connected. That helps a lot!
