You have to file Form 8959 if the Medicare wages or RRTA reported exceed $200,000 for single filers or $250,000 for joint filers.

If you have self-employment income, you file form 8959 if the sum of your self-employment earnings and wages or the RRTA compensation you receive is more than the threshold amount for your filing status.

See the below TurboTax link for additional information.
