I maxed out my SS payments twice, as I changed employers. TT is still showing that I owe >$10k in Federal taxes. How can I be sure it's considering the SS overpayment?

If you had two or more employers and the total of all Social Security taxes paid was greater than $8,537.40 the excess SS taxes withheld will be entered on Schedule 3 Line 10.  This amount flows to Form 1040 Line 31 as a tax payment.  This will either be included in your federal tax refund or it will decrease the amount of federal taxes owed.

You can view your Form 1040 at any time. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.
