Question
As a FICA exempt (student work) adding my W-2 half's my Fed & State refund. Wife has a regular job. Is there something we have to do so we don't get dinged by this?
I am entering my W-2 and I was a FICA exempt employee (Student working at the school I go to). Social Security and Medicare were not withheld from my paycheck. However when I enter in my W-2 it reduces my Federal and State refund by half. My wife has a regular job and taxes were withheld as normal. Is there something special I have to do so we don't get dinged by this?
