I conducted a test case and the excess social security was computed due to multiple employers based on the following:
- In 2019, you aren't required to pay the Social Security tax on any income you earn beyond $132,900. This limit is known as the Social Security Wage Base. This means that, regardless of how much income you earn, you'll pay no more $8,240 in Social Security taxes
- For tax year 2019, you'll have excess Social Security withholdings if the sum of multiple employers' withholdings exceeds $8,239.80 per taxpayer.
You don't need to take any action. We'll automatically add the excess to your federal refund or subtract it from federal taxes you owe, whichever applies.
The excess will appear as a tax credit on Line 11 of your Form 1040, Schedule 3.
