Retirement tax questions

No sure that is the same error if I am reading your question correctly.  If FICA was deferred, your amounts in in box 4 would have been less than 6.2%.  You should not get a warning that excess FICA was withheld.  The FICA wage limit was $137,700.  Is your box 3 more than that amount?  Could you possibly have multiple W2s where the FICA wages total more than 137,700?  That would cause you have excess FICA withheld and you would see a credit amount on line 10 of Schedule 3.
