Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello Sam,

 

Thank you so much for your reply. I just talked to them and was told the reason of this shortage is because I redeemed some points from our rewards system that they said they used those wages(around $1400) to reach SS wages limits($137700) however those wages were added after my last payroll and was not taxable wages therefore no tax was withheld. That caused the $87 shortage. In this case, what should I do?  They said There were no payable wages to me after the final payment of the year to withhold that tax.  The system is set to calculate the wages for each tax bucket based on the taxable wages.  But, it is unable to withhold tax if there is no payable wage to withhold from. They also advised me to speak to tax advisor as they said there will be no W-2c coming for this because the wages are social security wages. I just asked them if they will or have withhold that additional amount from my payroll so waiting for their answer however I doubt that they would do anything further. Please let me know if you still think that I should just ignore all of this and go ahead and file my return. Thank you again.
