Are you filing jointly? Or Single.

The threshold for the Additional Medicare tax is $250,000 for a couple filing jointly and $200,000 for a single person.

Please read this IRS document.

You can preview your 8959 form to see how is TurboTax calculating the additional Medicare tax.

How do I preview my return in the TurboTax Desktop software?

How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing?

Form 8959 consists of three parts. Each part includes a short calculation to figure out how much Additional Medicare Tax you owe.

Part I if you received W-2 income
Part II if you received self-employment income
Part III if you received RRTA

The final section of the form subtracts the tax you paid through paycheck withholding as shown on your W-2. The result shows if there is any Additional Medicare Tax due—which ultimately gets reported on your 1040 form
