Deductions & credits

"was already included on my employer W-2 Form Line 1 as Wages and Income."

 

So you are saying that your employer added this excess amount back to Wages in boxes 1, 3 and 5 on the W-2? At the same time, did the employer also remove the excess from the code W amount in box 12 on your W-2? They should have. This is why we are all confused. You can't have the excess added to Boxes 1,3, and 5 and not removed from the code W amount in box 12.
