Retirement tax questions

No, it should not be zero. The social security tax based on your income should be $2,436.60 ($39,300 x .062); and your Medicare tax should be $569.85 ($39,300 x 0145).

 

Since the amount is low, you should contact your employer to be sure your W-2 is correct.  This may be the reason TurboTax is indicating the amount is incorrect. I have not experienced this with this entry in TurboTax.
