I already filed my taxes with you, but I was told my employer withheld to much from me, so do I need to do something about this or am I good to go?

That was probably about excess Social Security Tax.

Check boxes 3 & 4 on your W2. Box 4 should be 6.2% of box 3 up to a max of $8,239.80. So take the amount in box 3 and multiply it by .062. If box 4 is more than that you need to get a corrected W2 from your employer. But also go back and double check your W2 entries, you may have entered box 3 & 4 wrong. A lot of people who have asked this found they did enter an amount wrong.

Or check W2 box 12. You may have entered Code A by mistake.

A sure way to fix this is to delete the W2 and re-enter it. That may clear something out.

Or post back with the amounts in boxes 3&4.

I sent them a picture of my W2 and they said my employers withheld to much,but I could still continue to file. I just needed to get a new W2 from my employer and add it. However I just got an email stating my federal return was already excepted. Should I still contact my boss about this?
