Appreciate the help, @AnnetteB6!
So just to confirm as the description in that section isn't clear. Based on the single section in that article:
What if my employer can't—or won't—cooperate?
You can correct the Box 4 amount yourself before filing. Simply multiply the amount in Box 3 by a factor of 0.062 and enter that amount or 9,114.00 (whichever is less) in Box 4.
I had entered the first W2 with this info
box 3: 147,000
box 4: 9,114.00
I entered the second W2 (same FED ID but different state ID)
box 3: 6400
box 4: 397
So if I were to follow the instructions above, do I just make box 4, zero? since my first W2 had maxed out social security tax. And then fill out Form 843 and mail it after I efile my 2022 tax?
Is that correct?
Corrected second W2:
box 3: 6400
box 4: 0
