TurboTax says that I will be getting a W-2c, but doesn't explain why. I had one W-2, and the social security and medicare tax withheld equals exactly the published rates.

I GOT THE SAME MESSAGE.  COULD BE A TYPO.

It is supposedly a "helpful" notice (which is may not be helpful) , and does not change, or stop your filing of taxes in any way.

It is likely just a calculation  screw-up in the software (a BUG introduced in Wed night's update) ...that does not affect your taxes in any way.

 

Just edit each W-2 you entered, and make sure box 4 is entered to be the same number as on your paper/PDF W-2 from that employer.  If box 4 is 6.2% of box 3...then nothing is wrong, and ignore that notice entirely.
