If one employer withheld too much Social Security tax, you won't be able to take a credit for the excess on your tax return. You will only see a refund on Schedule 3, Line 11 if multiple employers withheld excess social security.
Since your employer withheld too much, contact them and ask for:
- A refund for the excess amount, and
- A corrected W-2 (also called a W-2c) which shows the correct Box 3 and Box 4 amounts.
Do not file with excess withholdings on your return, as you may be subjected to penalties and interest.
Can I get a refund for excess Social Security tax withheld?
