Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Social Security is 6.2%.  Double check your entries to be sure that everything including wages is entered correctly.  Also, double check the math on the numbers to be sure that 6.2% was withheld for social security. You will use box 3 of your W-2 for this calculation. 

 

Do you only have one job?  Did you make over $168,600?  If you did, then the amount over that is not subject to social security.  So that would be another reason that it could be saying you are due a refund. 

 

You can still file your return even if TurboTax is saying you are due a refund for SS as this is not claimed through your tax return, instead this is handled separately by getting a refund from your employer.
