What is excess social security and tier 1 RRTA tax withheld

@jmjmcgriff No it's only based on W2s box 4. Did you both have a W2? You entered both W2s under the same person so it looked like that person went over the max.

You only get excess SS back if one person had more than 1 employer and those employers took out more than the max of $8,853.60. So add up your W2 box 4. Is it more? Then add up your spouse's W2 box 4. Is their box 4 more than $8,853.60?

Or check W2 box 12. You may have entered Code A by mistake.

THEN for next year 2022 if you transfer over from 2021 you should delete ALL the W2s and re-enter them from scratch making sure to assign them to the right spouse.
