Why does my amended W2 cause my tax liability to go up if my SS and Medicare wages went down?

I got an amended W2 for 2022 from my employer which shows a decrease in boxes 3 and 5 (Social Security and Medicare wages).  I entered the information into TurboTax, but now it's saying that I owe more money.

I don't understand.  If my wages were reduced and I already paid the taxes on the non-reduced amount, shouldn't I get a refund?
