You can check on your W-2 to make sure that the correct amounts were withheld. If all of that is correct, then you can move on and file your return. This is not an error that will prevent you from filing and it will not affect your tax return.
To check to see if the withholding on the W-2 was correct:
- Multiply the amount in Box 3 by 6.2% for the Social security tax withheld found in Box 4
- Multiply the amount in Box 5 by 1.45% for the Medicare tax withheld found in Box 6
