It is telling me my husband's employer owes him a refund from his Railroad Retirement Tier 1 tax that was withheld

Please review the W-2 entries in box 3-7 .  Are they blank?   and what do you have in Box 14?

I'm experiencing this same issue with my W2 for my local rail union.  I'm a salary employee.  Box 1 and two are filled.  Box 3-7 are left blank.

It’s my W2 for the wages I received, not benefits I was paid.

A "Railroad W2" is a standard IRS Form W-2 issued to an employee covered by the Railroad Retirement Act (RRTA). You will see the following differences from the usual W-2:

• Boxes 3 through 7 are blank.
• Instead, box 14 Other reports “RRTA compensation,” “Tier I tax,” “Tier II tax,” “Medicare tax,” and “Additional Medicare Tax.”

On the W2 screen, enter only Tier I and Tier II withholding in box 14 Other.

Correct. For some reason, TurboTax is telling me that my employer owes me a refund for withholding too much Tier1, even though 6.2% was withheld. I’m not sure if it’s a glitch i the system but I can’t finish my taxes until it’s resolved.

In TurboTax, Enter your Railroad Retirement Tier 1 amounts in box 14 of the W-2. Do not enter it box 4 for Social Security withholdings. In box 14, enter the description, amount, and select the category drop down then scroll to Railroad Retirement Tier 1. Additionally, you will need to enter in box 14 the Railroad Retirement compensation amount from box 1 of the W2 so the overpayment is not reported. Select "Railroad Retirement Compensation" from the box 14 category.
