Over paid social security how do you get it back without it being a deduction

[Lisa995]

How did you overpay?  Do you have multiple employers ?

Two employers. Sorry it was 30 minutes ago. I didn't know it was quick

If you had multiple employers and ended up paying in too much SS, the software should automatically make that amount you overpaid refundable to you.   I'm not following what you mean about it being a deduction.

[hot4wheels]

Over payment was $3005 turbo tax just added  that amount to my non taxable deductions. Took $3005 off my taxabl income.

It didn't look like I actually get $3000 cash back

Thx for your time

While youre logged into the return, click My Account > Tools > Tax Summary, then above the Summary, you should see a link to Preview MY 1040.  Look at page 2 of the 1040, does the excess SS show up on Line 71?

[hot4wheels]

Yes.

Just didn't see $3000 to the refund

[Lisa995 · Accepted solution]

If its on Line 71 then it is included as part of your refund. Your refund is larger by that amount on Line 71, than it would have been without that SS excess.
