On the screen that asks to double-check Social Security tax on w2, it lists the wrong amount. When I go to change it the amount is correct. Anyone know what I should do?

This is the screen that reads "Congrats! Looks like you're getting some cash back."

When you edited the amount were you on the review section of the program or the income section?

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 $8,537.40.   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.

Or post back with the amounts in boxes 3&4.
