Retirement tax questions

Excess social security and Tier 1 RRTA tax withheld means that you overpaid on the amount of Social Security from your paychecks.  This usually occurs when you change jobs or work multiple jobs.  Look at box 3 from your W-2s.  If they add up to more than $132,900, then you overpaid and it will be credited to you on your tax return.  You will see it on  line 18 (d) if your return.
