Deductions & credits

If the amount of Social Security and/or Medicare Tax withheld does not exactly calculate to the percentages of 6.2 and 1.45%, respectfully, you will receive this message.  I have seen this message on differences as little as $0.05.

 

If the difference is indeed pennies, and you have not imported your W-2's, click on each W-2 that is giving you the error and manually overwrite the amount withheld to correspond to the correct percentage.  Be sure to check both the social security withholding and the medicare withholding.  If you have imported your W-2's and the withholding boxes are blocked, you will need to delete the problem W-2 or W-2s and manually re-enter to correct what the system believes to be an error.
