To clarify, are you asking about Box 4 on a Form SSA-1099?
Did you have to repay Social Security in 2024?
Or box 4 on a W2? Did you have 1 W2 or more than 1 employer?
There are 2 different situations when it will say Employer may have paid too much Social Security. It’s saying either 1 employer took out too much SS –OR- that you paid too much SS because you had more than 1 employer.

ONE EMPLOYER
First of all try leaving the cents off box 4.
Check boxes 3 & 4 on your W2. Box 4 should be 6.2% of box 3 up to a max of $10,453.20. So take the amount in box 3 and multiply it by .062. If box 4 is more than that you need to get a corrected W2 from your employer. But also go back and double check your W2 entries, you may have entered box 3 & 4 wrong. A lot of people who have asked this found they did enter an amount wrong.
Or check W2 box 12. You may have entered Code A by mistake.
A sure way to fix this is to delete the W2 and re-enter it. That may clear something out.
