Can you tell me why something came up saying my job took out too much social security taxes from me?

This situation can occur when you have more than one employer or if you had a single employer and they withheld too much. For the tax year 2018, you'll have excess Social Security withholdings if the sum of multiple employers' withholdings exceeds $7,960.80 per taxpayer.

The following TurboTax FAQ provides more detail about how to handle this situation. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3300261
