The retirement plan contributions would not be deductible from her Medicare wages, so that amount appears correct since you said it equals her gross wages. The box 1 amount should be the Medicare wages minus the allowable contributions to the retirement plan, which appear to be $23,000 in this case, assuming there wasn't anything else that affects the taxable wages in box 1.
