it says "You have Additional Medicare Tax Form 8959." but the explanation they give for why I need does not apply to me. I do not make enough money, so why do I need it?

Check for typos. Print or view your tax return to see if there are any out of whack numbers.

All of my submitted information is correct, and I cannot find any reason it would need this form.

The form is generated only if you need to pay tax on a portion of wages, self-employment, and/or railroad retirement income that exceeds a certain threshold, see Who Files Form 8959?

The IRS does not start accepting tax returns until next week, so you have time to get this corrected before you file. What does your Form 1040 show for income?
