Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you have two W-2 forms with the same Employer Identification Number, and they withheld more than the maximum Social Security withholding ($10,918 for 2025), you should go to the employer and ask them to issue you a corrected W-2 and refund the excess Social Security withholding back to you.

 

If the employer refuses to correct the W-2, you can claim a refund of the excess Social Security tax withheld on Form 843.  This form is not supported by TurboTax and cannot be e-filed.  It will need to be filled out manually and mailed to the IRS.

 

If you had two W-2 forms with different Employer Identification Numbers, you can enter both forms in TurboTax and any excess Social Security tax withheld will get refunded back to you when you file your tax return.  The amount of the excess is reported on Schedule 3, line 11.
