This happens if you have more than one employer for the tax year and the total Social Security tax tier 1 tax withheld was over the limit for that tax year, This is calculated by adding the W-2 social security amounts withheld and subtracting $8239.80, the maximum amount that can be withheld in the 2019 tax year.
One common error that can occur is that if you have a W2 listed for yourself and for your wife, check to see if each W2 has the right spouse listed. There have been occasions where the wrong spouse was listed on a W2 and it triggered this type of error. Check your W2's to make sure the right spouses are listed as the Taxpayer.
