Retirement tax questions

If you had excess social security withheld from your wages because you reached the maximum social security for one employer and subsequent employer(s) also withheld, Turbo Tax will make that adjustment automatically. 

 

The excess tax will appear on Schedule 3, line 11 and be carried forward to line 18d of your Form 1040.

 

If your W2 was in error (one employer withheld a higher or lower percentage of social security taxes than they should have) you will need to contact your employer and request a corrected W2.

 

Here is a TurboTax Help article that explains in more detail:  Excess Social Security Withheld
