Yes, if the cents are removed, the message goes away. While it's not the biggest deal, it's quite irritating that my refund is reduced by $1 when the cents are removed.  After checking the calculations again, I can confirm box 6 is exactly 1.45% of box 5 for each W2.  As I've said in my previous reply, box 6 of my W2s seem to be rounded before being added in Line 19 of Form 8959. That is what's causing the discrepancy. If rounded after being added together, the difference in Line 19 and Line 21 is $0.008. Which should not be enough to trigger Form 8959. Unless there's a specific reason for the calculations to be done this way, this seems to be an order of operations error. While your suggestion does work it will also cause a discrepancy. I've seen many other posts with this same issue without a solution. Is it possible to solve this problem so that others will not have this issue in the future?

On my SSA-1099SM I entered both the benefits paid in 2025 and deducted Medicare part B premiums.  When I entered itemized additional medical expenses insurance premium section indicated at my SSA-1099SM Medicare part b premiums paid was taken into account plus my itemized insurance amounts (Tricare, vision, dental etc.).  Originally I entered my SSA-1099SM Medicare part b premiums as an itemized medical expense.  This itemized medical section said my SSA-1099SM part b premiums was already taken into account.  So I deleted my SSA-1099SM Medicare part B premium amount but then my tax refund amount went down significantly.  So is my SSA-1099SM Medicare part b premium added to my itemized medical expenses for purposes of calculating my 7.5% limit or not? Right now it appears it's not.  If that is the case it appears I should delete it from my SSA-1099SM entry and include it in my itemized medical expenses.

If the EIN is the same and you work in more than 1 state or city, sometimes they will give you another W2 with the extra state information on it and the top part the same or not filled in. If this is the case, enter 1 W-2 but include both state and local taxes on it. It will let you type in more than one line for boxes 15-20. Don’t add the boxes together. If the locality in box 20 is the same you can simply combine the values in boxes 18 and then the values in box 19 together.

Si. usted podría calificar para deducir estas horas siempre y cuando usted no sea un empleado exento por la Ley de Normas Laborales Justas, o FLSA (por sus siglas en inglés).   Para reclamar este crédito, debes asegurar tener todos los documentos necesarios que sustenten tus informaciones, como el W-2 correspondiente, el último talonario de pago y cualquier otro documento que te haya proveído tu empleador que muestre el total de las horas extras pagadas.   Si estás usando Turbo Tax en línea y necesitas entrar las horas extras incluidas:   Entra la información de tu W-2 en la sección “Wages and Income,” vas a la pantalla titulada “Let 's check for other situations.” Marca la casilla correspondiente a “Overtime.”   Luego, eliges si necesitas ayuda en calcular la porción de horas extras, o si tu sabes como hacerlo, lo haces tú mismo.   Debes tener en cuenta que no todas las horas extras califican para ser deducidas. Lo que significa que si las horas fueron pagadas a tiempo y medio (1.5), solo el 0.5% de ese pago puede calificar para ser deducido.

Take a moment and check the forms. If the Employer Identification number (Box b.) on the W-2.  Do not add them together. Is one form a W-2 and the other a W-2C. If you haven't filed yet, enter the W-2C and not the regular W-2. The W-2C is a corrected copy. If they are both regular W-2s, employers will often go to a second page to add additional information. If boxes 18, 19, 20 are full on the first one, the second one is for additional information. Those boxes are to report Town and City local information.

I have a question regarding the reporting and taxing of loan forgiveness.  I will receive a 1099 this year that represents "loan" forgiveness from a hospital for a "loan" that includes 1 year salary guarantee/student loan repayment/signing bonus/relocation.  It is forgiven at a rate of 1/24 each month I continue at the position.  This 1099 will cover three months of forgiveness (Oct-Dec 2025). If I were to leave my position I would be responsible for repaying the balance of the "loan" amount. The salary guarantee covered the period of Oct 2024-Sept 2025. For the portion of the "loan" was paid to me in salary I will receive a W2 (from the private group I was employed by and paid by during the guarantee period). Regular income taxes will have already been withheld/paid on the amount covering the salary. My understanding is that since I have already paid taxes on the salary portion reported on the W2 I should not responsible for the salary portion that is reported for forgiveness on the 1099 as it will result in double taxation on the salary portion. Is there a was to make the reduction in the amount reported for forgiveness on the 1099 within Turbotax that would allow me to utilize the product to complete my return for 2025. I have been using Turbotax for about 7 years and would love to continue, but this situation is unique. Thank you for your help in advance.

Margaret - I also receive payments from a nonqualified pension plan. The local municipalities in Pa tax earned income. Since these payments are not considered earned income for purposes of IRA contributions does that also mean they would not be considered earned income for this local income tax? (I’m getting conflicting answers on the research I am doing on this topic.)   Thanks Mike
