Why do I need to pay $49.00 for an upgrade for additional medicare tax form 8959 that i don't have?

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.

I just had this same issue. what the other person said is correct about the 1.45%. Even if it's just 1.456% it says you must use that form. I just zeroed out the cents in my W2s and it worked. So for example I made 15.92 into 15.00 and 10.03 into 10.00. and the problem was gone.
