I do not understand your answer. My first employer wages were only around $8,000 and they withheld the 6.2% FICA tax appropriately. My second employer wages exceeded $142,800 and they appropriately withheld $8,853.60 based on the FICA wages only, not knowing what the first employer withheld. Both employers calculated the withholding correctly. These two employers are not going to talk to one another to resolve this. Why cannot I not get the credit back on my 1040? That is the most logical and expedient way to handle this.
I requested a corrected W2 from my second employer (as Turbo Tax suggested) and this second employee said their tax department handled the situation correctly and included a very long letter with their reason. They said that this was a Turbo Tax issue and that I should use another tax software program. I really do not want to do this however if I cannot get it resolved, I will have to so in order to file my taxes.
This seems like a really big hassle for $493. Please help.
