TTX had a way to deal with it more easily a few years ago...this also happens with folks who have two (or more) employers...but a W-2 "Pay Agent" is used to send out the W2- forms...the EIN is the same on those too.
What I think happened too often, was that too many folks double-entered their single W-2 forms, or Two spouses, working at the same employer, entered both W-2 forms as-if it belonged to only one of them...and claimed the SS overpay refund improperly. If that happens too often for people confused about what they are doing, then allowing the easy in-software fix, created more problems than it corrected.
