Are you married? Did one spouse have more than 1 W2?
You get excess SS back if one person had more than 1 employer and those employers took out more than the max for Social Security tax in W2 box 4. And it is for each spouse separately if married. Check 1040 Schedule 3 line 11 which goes to 1040 line 31.
For 2024 the max for Social Security is $10,453.20 on $168,600 of wages (168,600 x 6.2%).
