TurboTax said I overpaid Social Security Taxes. How do I get this back?

do you have a spouse and you accidentally clicked that the W-2 was your's and not the spouses?  this is common errors people make.

overpaying FICA could occur if you had more than one employer and your Box 3 wages on your W-2s sum to more than $132,900

if your wages are below $132,900, something else is incorrect. 

if you truly overpaid FICA, it will be calculated into your refund.  Nothing for you to do. 

If you had only one employer, then you would have to get the excess social security tax withholding back from your employer.  The employer reports and payments are based on math and not actual withholding so it's impossible for your employer to pay more to the IRS than is required. In this situation you must go back to the employer to receive a refund and a corrected W-2. For filing purposes, You can enter the correct amount of social security tax and proceed to to file now. It's important to follow up with your employer.

If you do have two different employers, then the employers do not have access to the information about each other in reference to your income. For this reason they would not pay too much FICA on your wages.  In this case, any excess because you have earned more than $142,800 in wages when combined, the IRS will refund any excess social security tax because each employer would have paid it all to them.

On your tax return the excess will show up on line 11, of Schedule 3, Form 1040.  You can view your 1040 form before you e-file:

1. Open or continue your return. (TurboTax Online)
2. With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then:
   • View only your 1040 form: Select Tools. Next, select View Tax Summary in the pop-up, then Preview my 1040 in the left menu.
3. TurboTax CD/Desktop - Select Forms (upper right) > Scroll to Schedule 3 (left) > View line 11

@nick2000cn  Turbo Tax should give you the excess Social Security on your return.  Nobody has complained it hasn't.  Be sure both W2s are entered under your name and not one for your spouse if married.  Try deleting the W2s and re enter them.  That may clear something out.  

You get excess SS back if you had more than 1 employer and those employers took out more than the max for Social Security tax in W2 box 4.  For 2023 the max for Social Security is $9,932.40 on $160,200 of wages (160,200 x 6.2%).  And it is for each spouse separately if married.  Check 1040 Schedule 3 line 11 which goes to 1040 line 31.

Be sure you entered box 3 & 4 right.  Or post back with the amounts in boxes 3&4.  Are you on Windows or Mac?  Try updating the program and for Windows you might need to update Windows.
