Thank you so much for responding!
Yes, my wages in Box 1 are correct. $11630.37 and this is also the YTD gross pay amount on my final paycheck stub.
So yes, they are over reporting my wages in Box 3. Box 3 should be $5385.45.
The correct amount of SS taxes was paid. It was 6.2% of the gross wage amount of 11630.37.
So, it's just a transposition error really. Or parsing error. Wrong number included because, I'm going to assume, they didn't know better. . In other words, this isn't a case of actual over or underpaying of taxes.
So what happens if I can't get them to alter the document? What is my recourse so my taxes are correct? I tried to see if I could fill out the form 4852 via turbo tax, but that option only pops up if I state that I didn't receive a w2. But obviously that's not the case. Do I really have to file by hand in order to submit the proper documentation as another responder stated above?
