Hey there.
Yep, needed some assistance on this, let me know what your fee would be.
-- No, did not receive any letter.
What happened was, I received the annual December Social Security Admin letter to check my earnings there.
So, I did. And was hit with a shock. It showed in the social security block I only earned $80K for my 2019 pay.
I went back and pulled out the 2019 W2.
For some reason, I "really" did not pay attention to it - I had a "wages over limit" line with $65,000 in the social security column.
--- My gross that year was $145 K
--- with ~$25 K for 401k
I contacted Plus3 (the company I worked for that year) and asked them to check it out. They came back yesterday and said that they could not find any problems on their side - all data was entered correctly.
-- Plus3 also tells me they contacted ADP to dig into it and ADP found no problem either
Yet, my Plus3 2018 W2 and 2020 W2 for that company (I resigned from them in Apr 2020) - BOTH do NOT 'wage over limits' and the social security block nearly matches up with the gross pay block for those two years as they should (minus 401k that is).
---- Something is wrong somewhere with Plus3 and/or ADP. This is not something I can fix because I did not change anything for 2019 or revert back to in 2020, to make that line appear on the 2019 W2.
Plus3 gave me the number of someone at ADP but I said I was not going to call ADP until I got a tax lawyer, which I may end up doing. This affects my social security earnings (if we still have it in 10 years or so....).
Was that enough or do you need screen shots?
Thanks,
