It seems like there may be a misconception about this form. Form 8959 is not used to refund any medicare tax that was withheld in excess by your employer. The employer is not paying the IRS excess medicare tax which means you may have to go back to the employer for reimbursement. Based on the employer tax reporting form (form 941) it's not possible to over pay.
Who should file Form 8959?
- Beginning with the 2013 tax year, you have to file Form 8959 if the Medicare wages or RRTA reported exceed $200,000 for single filers or $250,000 for joint filers
- If you have self-employment income, you file form 8959 if the sum of your self-employment earnings and wages or the RRTA compensation you receive is more than the threshold amount for your filing status.
If by chance you are referring to an excess of social security tax withheld and if you had two or more employers, then you are entitled to a credit. No form is used, it simply goes on your 1040, line 31, from Schedule 3, Part II, line 11.
