[forsyth408]

does this apply to medicare as well? ie boxes 5 and 6

[DoninGA]

On your W-2 Boxes 3 and 5 should be the gross amount of wages received in 2021. 

Box 4 for SS taxes withheld should be 6.2% of box 3 SS wages. 

Box 6 for Medicare taxes withheld should be 1.45% of box 5 Medicare wages.

[Critter-3]

Boxes 3 & 4 should not be the same amount ... box 4 should be box 3 x .062%

Boxes 5 & 6 should not be the same amount ... box 6 should be box 5 x .0145%

Box 1 can be less than boxes 3 or  5  and boxes 3 & 5 do not need to be the same amount.
