Go back and edit the W-2 you entered. Look at the amount in box 6. Makes sure that is exactly 1.45% of box 5. If it is even $0.01 greater that will cause the program to give you this message. Reduce the amount in box 6 by a few cents and the message should be removed.
The tax is an additional 0.9% percent Medicare tax on the portion of wages, self-employment, and railroad retirement income that exceeds a certain threshold. That threshold is $250,000 for jointly filing couples, $125,000 for married couples filing separately, and $200,000 for everybody else. It is based on all of your wages, it is not per w-2.
