I have searched google and asked others and they also have no clue. I don't make over $200k and that is the majority of the response I get.

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, 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.

I researched this and already tried. I had to do my taxes elsewhere this year.
