On my W2, there is a small table above the Boxes showing the calculation of numbers in boxes, look like this:
Federal Box 1 Soc. Sec. Box 3 & 7 Medicare Box 5
Gross Wages
Txbl Benefits
Group Term Life
Adoption
Deferred Comp
Section 125
Other Pretax/Wage Limit. a positive number x
W-2 Wages total of first 6 rows + x
I can find all the numbers in this table from my 2022 last paystub except for the number in row Other Pretax/Wage Limit and column Federal Box 1. This number is a positive number and was added into my W-2 Wages in column Federal Box 1. I couldn't find this number in my 2022 last paystub, and also couldn't figure out where this number comes from. This number increases my W-2 wages in Box 1 and thus my tax.
