I work for a large medical staffing company that owns many groups of physicians. Each group of physicians is a separate Professional Association (PA). In 2019, I worked for 2 different PAs within the same large company ("reporting agent"), therefore I received two W-2s. Each PA I worked for withheld social security taxes which totals more than $8239.80 (max social security withholding for 2019). Despite each PA having their own EIN, both of my W-2s have the same EIN on them (the EIN for the "reporting agent"). Because the EINs are the same on both of the W-2s, TurboTax thinks I worked for the same employer and advises that I ask my employer for a refund. When I asked my employer for a refund, I received a letter stating they cannot provide a refund because they are required to withhold the taxes for each PA separately. They also gave me the EIN for each PA that I worked for and suggested that I report the over payment of social security taxes on Form 1040, Schedule 3, line 11. Will the IRS notice if I put the EIN for each individual PA when I input my W-2 data into TurboTax or does the data I input into TurboTax have to match the paper W-2 exactly?
