No. The schedules are for the Federal income tax only.
(To start - FICA contributions are considered more an insurance and retirement payment, not a tax -(it is earmarked and not available as part of ordinary US Treasury funds, and the "income" that it is based off of is defined entirely different than that for Income Tax. Many people have very large incomes but owe no SS, or can have no taxable income - after losses and deductions, and still owe and have substantial FICA contribution income).
