Retirement tax questions

The way it should work is:

 

If the two companies for the two W-2s have different EINs and yet the total amount of Social Security withheld across all your W-2s (and Schedule SEs, if any) exceeds $8239.80, then the excess of Social Security tax withheld over $8239.80 should appear on line 11 on Schedule 3 (Form 1040), and on line 8d on form 1040. 

 

Do two or more of the W-2s come from the same employer?
