Turbotax is saying I deferred part of my social security last year and will be getting a W2C. However my employer says I didn't defer and won't be issuing a W2C.

Same problem here.  SS withheld is exactly 6.2% of SS wages.

@JohnB5677 

Certainly not in the desktop software.

Boxes 1,3,5 at $5441.29

2= 100.00

4= 337.36

6=78.90

15 = NC   16= $5441.29      17 = blank

No other income anywhere.

Still get the same message

_____________________

raise only box 4 to 337.49   Same W-2C Notice

raise only box 4 to  337.50  W-2C notice goes away 

(but I should be getting SS overpayment error.  What happened to that?)

[jimjokjv]

Sorry but this answer is incorrect.

My employer is a church and my approved exemption form is on file with them.  They never deferred any Social Security taxes because  I DO NOT OWE ANY.

Turbo Tax as been my go to for years now but this is obviously an error in their programming and unless it gets straightened out.  I will be a former customer.

All, I have encountered this error as well.  It has to be a turbo tax issue/glitch.  I know for a fact that my employer did not defer any employee social security taxes because I am the Director of Payroll for my company.  I am going to ignore the error and move on with my tax filing but I am very disappointed with Intuit for having this issue.  I predict I will have a lot of alarmed employees contacting my department needlessly in the near future.  Fix the glitch Intuit!

[CJBeezer]

Same as everyone else. Return was fine a week ago and I have made no changes. Now I need the W2-C? I don't think so. This may be the last year I use TurboTax...

I am using TurboTax Deluxe Desktop, and the issue has not been fixed.  I just checked for updates, and it said my software is up to date.  However, I am still seeing this issue.  Did the 2/19 fix apply only to the online version?  If so, when will the desktop version be fixed?  In my case, I am certain it is an error.  I have checked all the Box 3/4 numbers, and they are correct.  Moreover, until a recent TurboTax update, I wasn't getting this error.

[kiersten001]

it has NOT been fixed.

loosing my confidence.

its simple math.

As of 2020-02-22 at 1 am EST this bug is still causing problems for me in the Desktop Deluxe version with all of the latest updates.

We would all appreciate it if @JohnB5677  could please push the information back to the QA department and let us know that they can confirm that it is still a problem. Can't file til they fix it.

My Turbotax is saying the same thing that I deferred part of my social security and will be getting a W2C. The problem is I checked all our W2's and they are perfect. 6.2% paid.

The problem is TURBOTAX

[truevic]

I checked the math and I am getting the correct box 4 and 3 expected 6.2% result.  Also checked with my employer.  I did not defer any SS taxes and never have.

  I will file anyway regardless of this troublesome glitch.  I may not be using Turbo Tax next year.  I find that very sad because I have been a loyal user for 20+ years.   My confidence is reduced.

Hey TurboTax, it would be nice to hear from you and at least acknowledge the bug asap. We can wait for a fix but confirming the problem is urgent.

Thanks

[msrd]

The online version hasn't been fixed either. I still see the W-2C message .

It is really frustrating to see a bug like this.

[Vactioner]

Their online digital chat bot had this to say:

"If you believe you received this message in error, you can continue to file your tax return.

I signed up for alerts at that link, and hopefully it really will be fixed by 2/26.

[twerkema]

Same issue here. Checked the numbers and they are correct for boxes 3 and 4. We're using TurboTax Desktop Premier.

[annegwin]

Incorrect. Both of my husband and I have W2s showing $137,700 in Box 3 for Social Security wages and $8537.40 (6.2%) in box 4 for Social Security tax withheld and we just received this notice for the first time today, 2/22, even though we've been updating our tax information for several weeks.
