Are you filing a joint return? Did you enter each spouse's W-2 under your individual names? MAKE SURE! If you entered all of the W-2 information under only one name on a joint return it can cause the return to show excess Social Security withheld. That causes you to get an artificially increased refund which will in turn result in a nasty IRS letter in about a year, charging you penalties and interest.
Look at box 4 of your W-2(s). What does it show? Does ONE of you have more than $8239.80 in Box 4? If not, you have made a mistake in entering your W-2's.
