Self employed

Turbo Tax only calculates what you enter.  It doesn't know if you entered something wrong or if you assigned a W2 to the wrong spouse.  After you entered the W2s it showed you a screen showing all the W2s and who they were assigned to so you could change it.

 

You only get excess SS back if one person had more than 1 employer and those employers took out more than the max of  $9,114.00 (for 2022).

 

Add up all the W2 box 4 for both spouses and subtract the max $9,114.00.   Is that the excess on 1040 Schedule 3 line 11 which goes to 1040 line 31?  Then all the W2s were assigned to the same person.

 

Or you entered a W2 box 4 wrong.  There should be a sheet for each W2 in the full pdf file of your tax return showing what was entered.

 

Or check W2 box 12.  You may have entered Code A by mistake.

 

THEN when you do 2023 next year, if you transfer over from 2022  you should delete ALL the W2s and re-enter them from scratch making sure to assign them to the right spouse.
