Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, even if you are filing as married filing jointly. Because your wages were over $200,000, your employer had to withhold additional Medicare tax. But because you are filing as married filing jointly and your income was less than $250,000, you don't actually owe the additional Medicare tax. Filing Form 8959 will have the effect of paying you back for the additional tax that your employer was required to withhold by applying it against your income tax.
