Block 7 Form W-2 for 2024

dlhdch — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 01:59:45 GMT

I have a W-2 with $627. reported in Block 7. When I reviewed the resulting return, I had $77. in other taxes reported on line 23 Form 1040 as self-employment tax.

I had corrections to make on the Turbo Tax entries, which did not change the $627. entry. However, the $77 disappeared after the unrelated corrections.

Question: Is the initial recording of a $77 SE tax correct? If so, how do I get the $77 entry back on the return?

Please advise,

You don't owe self-employment tax on box 7 (social security tips). The SE tax was generated from something else on your return.

Thanks for the quick response. I agree with your answer.

I was able to confirm your answer, by adding the W-2 Social security wages (block 3) and block 7 amount together, and multiplying the sum by .062; producing a product equal to Social security withheld in block 4.

The original $77 self employment tax remains an unknown factor, and most appropriately gone.

Best Regards.
