Overpayment of FICA when two W2s are received from the same employer
Hello,
Is there a way to file online and receive credit for overpayment of FICA. I had two different roles, each within a different division (each a separate legal entity) of the same employer in 2019. As such, I received two W2s, with a combined overpayment of FICA. The employer has provided a form stating that due to the fact that each division of the company is a different legal entity, they withheld excess FICA, as required for each of the two divisions. The EIN is the same on both W2s - how do I account for this in Turbo Tax. The employer has recommended filing on paper and providing the IRS the letter they have provided me, but this will cause me to go to a tax service and spend extra money to file my taxes, when this is the only outstanding issue. Is there any way to receive credit for this situation in the 2019 Turbo Tax software? I have had a similar issue with the same employer in the past but the Turbo Tax software of years past recognized the over payment and provided credit - not anymore.
thank you for any tips you could provide.
