Same here this must be a bug.
It still shows that I will receive a W2C which I won't. I checked for updates before I verifying if turbo tax will continue to show this message. Now what should I do?
It has to be a bug in the program. The maximum earnings subject to the Social Security payroll tax is $137,700. If you multiply by 6.2%, the maximum tax amount that can be withheld is $8537.40. My W-2 has this exact amount and I am receiving the same message.
TurboTax needs to get this corrected quickly.
Yes, it is a bug that needs to be fixed.
I am also receiving the same Turbo Tax message that a W2C will be coming due to underpayment of Social Security Tax. I have been using TT for years, this is a software problem. I went back two years and the tax is exactly correct at the 6.2% level.
Message to Turbo Tax, please find the software problem and fix.

Check back on Friday...TTX certainly knows...here's the FAQ issued 18 hrs ago

We'll all find out then how good (or bad) a job they did at fixing it....along with any unintended consequences from the supposed "fix".
Not that the notice/message is needed at all...I think they should just get rid of it all together and not even bother testing for it.
(like the tens/hundreds of thousands of people who get W-2 forms with box 4 blank because that job is entirely out of the SS system)
I got same. This is a bug, but you can submit taxes anyway.
Yep me too. If this is a TT bug, why aren't they fixing it?
Same issue, but I actually overpaid Social Security on my 2019 return. It is also saying I have excess contributions to my HSA in 2019, which I do not. Hope this gets resolved soon.

Crazy- it’s telling me same thing and my W2 is correct. Don’t appreciate added stress. I am disappointed in their software this year.
What is funny is I paid the maximum social security tax for 2020 which according to google is 8,537.40.
How exactly is anything deferred if I paid the maximum?
Some customers are incorrectly getting a message that "...a W-2c is on the way." Even if this is true, it doesn't prevent you from filing your return now. The IRS won't audit you for that--your employer is responsible for withholding the correct amount of Social Security tax.
To ease you mind, you can review your W-2 and make sure that:
