If I am overtaxed on my Medicare tax, does Turbotax provide a correction for this when I file my taxes, or is there a way this is corrected during my filing?

For Married Filing Jointly (MFJ), the Medicare tax is 1.45% up to $250k income and then after that it adds another 0.9%.  Speaking with our payroll company, they said I am taxed as a "single" where it is 1.45% up to $200k and then an additional 0.9% thereafter.  Our payroll company says all payrolls are taxed this way for medicare regardless of what is claimed on the W4 or the filing status, and they cannot adjust or correct it, it is up to the filer during the filing process.  The $50k difference is $450, if I file MFJ, but I am taxed as a Single.  Does Turbotax provide a correction for this when I file my taxes, or is there a way this is corrected during my filing?
