Retirement tax questions

No you did not---If you are seeing on your Form 1040 that you overpaid  Social Security by that much, then get busy and check to see if you entered all of your income under only one spouse's name.  That error will lead to an inflated refund and a nasty letter from the IRS in about a year asking for repayment of the refund with penalties and interest.

 

 

When you file a joint return, there are spots on the income screens with each spouse's name by them.  You have to be very careful to enter your W-2's under the correct spouse's name.  Go back through the screens for Federal>Wages and Income and see what you did--make corrections as needed.
