Hi Tax expert.

 

I received W2-c from my employee with adjusted box 3 (social security wage), box 4 (social security tax withheld), box5 (medicare tax wage) and box 6(medical tax withheld). Basically, I need to pay more social security and medicare tax.

When I put new (higher) numbers in Turbotax nothing change. The tax return amount stay the same.

Do I need to file amended return (adjusted social security, mediacal tax)

No you don't need to amend for boxes 3-6.  Unless the ss increased and you have more than 1 employer and together they went over the max.  Or if you claimed excess Social Security and they reduced the ss tax.
