Why do I need to upgrade? You say I paid excess Social Security tax. But I did the calculations and the amount paid is exactly 6.2%. This is your error

If the amount of SS taxes withheld is even $0.01 more than 6.2% of box 3 this will trigger the excess SS message.  Just remove the cents from the SS taxes withheld and the excess will be removed and you the upgrade issue will go away.
