You are seeing this because the amount of Medicare taxes withheld in box 6 is Not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5.  Remove any cents for the Medicare wages and see if the upgrade message goes away.

OR -

Delete the w-2 and re-enter.  Make sure the amount in box 6 is 1.45% or less of the amount in box 5.

You might be seeing this because the amount of Medicare taxes withheld in W2 box 6 is not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5, due to rounding.   I read a post that said to try leaving the cents off of the Medicare tax on your W2 box 6.   Box 6 has to be exactly 1.45% of box 5 or less.
