Hi David, I accessed my turbotax program for 2021 (I have the desktop download version of deluxe) to amend my return. I then entered the info from the 2021 W2-c with the corrected SS and Medicare wages and withholding (boxes 3, 4, 5, and 6). When I got to the "Amended Return Summary Page" on the step-by-step it said "We don't detect and differences between your original 2021 return and your amended return. If you're sure you need to amend, explain why below." I provided the explanation but haven't progressed further in the program as yet.
I just want to make sure that this is normal and that I am proceeding correctly. I guess I am having a tough time wrapping my head around who will send the refund for the excess social security and Medicare tax that was paid. Will it be the IRS or the Social Security Administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services? Or will the refund of the SS and Medicare taxes also be something that is accounted for on the amended 2022 return but still requires the amended 2021 return to be filed?
