Deductions & credits

Do the W2s have different EIN employer numbers on them in box b above the employer name?  If they don't then that could be a problem.

 

For 2024, If you had more than 1 employer and paid more than $10453.20 in Social Security tax (box 4) combined you will automatically get the excess back on your tax return. If you are married it is for each spouse separately. Be sure each W2 is assigned to the right spouse. For 2024 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 or reduces a Tax Due on line 37.
