Deductions & credits
How much is in all your W2 box 4? If you had more than 1 employer and paid more than $9,114.00 in Social Security tax (box 4) combined you get the excess back on your tax return. If you are married it is for each spouse separately.
A recent poster found he had entered the same EIN on both his W2s. Or if you are married be sure each W2 is entered under the right spouse. Try deleting the W2s and re enter them. That usually clears something out.
For 2022 it will be on Schedule 3 line 11 which goes to 1040 line 31. The Social Security overpayment on line 31 is included in the total refund on line 35a.
