Retirement tax questions

What do you mean Social Security & Medicare is not getting applied?  Applied to what?  You don't get SS & Medicare back.  It is a mandatory tax.  You only get federal tax withholding in box 2 back.  And box 17 for state tax withholding.  Don't know what or where you're seeing it.  Check your actual 1040 return.  W2 Federal withholding is on 1040 line 25a.
