Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You should only need to request a refund from a company that withheld too much social security tax on your pay. Since you had two separate employers, they should have withheld the proper amount of tax and the excess should be refunded to you on your income tax return.

 

One possibility is that your total income is not over the limit for social security tax ($142,800 in 2021) and one of your employers did not withhold the correct amount of FICA tax (6.2%.) In that case, you need to get the over-withheld tax from the employer.

 

An other possibility is that you entered both W-2's under that name of the same employer. If so, then you need to correct that in TurboTax.
