There is no way to pay the medicare tax in on your form 1040. You can contact the IRS and file a claim to have the employer pay it in along with a corrected W-2 form.

 

As a practical matter, the medicare tax is only 1.45% for an employee, so it's probably not going to make much of a difference if it is not paid in.
