Pure and blatant fraud on the part of Turbotax. Despite being 1.) Being below the threshold for this form, 2.) The Medicare figure withheld being exactly 1.45% of Medicare wages and 3.) Even trying to remove the cents entirely, TurboTax forces me to upgrade so my return will include said "Additional Medicare Tax (Form 8959)." I upgraded just to get my return in but—surprise, surprise—no extra form needed. No extra work done. Nothing extra needed to be put in by me. Nothing at all. Blatantly fraudulent. And if you want to call and speak someone about it, that will be another $30.
