So...who do you work for.....and did anything change particularly this year?
For instance, some Public workers/teachers/police/firemen etc do not pay into SS because they have a retirement system that works outside of Federal Social Security. Maybe the was a change-over part way thru the year such that some of your income was subject to SS. I think...some Clergy don't normally pay into SS (but not certain).
So...who do you work for, and what is your job entail?

OR, a major payroll screw-up...REALLY check with your employer.
Perhaps someone programmed their computer to put in the SS wage limit and put in:
..4700 vs 147000
IF so, then they have to re-issue corrected W-2 forms and you should not file until those corrected W-2C forms are issued..
