Are you asking how to pay the deferral for 2020 SE tax on the 2021 return ?

no, it has been paid - where is that reflected on the 1040 as an offset to the deferred amounts?

I dont think it goes on the 1040 anywhere.

It is a tax for 2020, and payments are due by December 31st.  Why would it show up on a 2021 tax return that has payments due on April 15th (or later)?

I didn't have any clients that deferred but I thought it was 50% 12/2021 and 50% 12/2022.

Didn't have any clients that utilize this either... Really what good is it?... Creates nothing but a future issue or work, in my opinion it should have never been offered..

My thinking is that (1) you 'deferred' the tax on the tax year 2020 Form 1040 - (2) the IRS is sending notices that 50% (or more) must be paid by December 31, 2021, (3) to close the 'loop' you'll reflect that you deferred the tax - paid the tax - offset the tax.  Ok, I'll stay tuned.
