Just ignore this message. I this will not affect your overall tax return and won't prevent you from filing. Don't be surprised if you don't receive a W2C despite what the screen says.

Do several people get this notification? So I should go ahead and file my taxes? Should I follow up with my employer about this?

Go ahead and file your return.

Some customers were incorrectly getting a message that "...a W-2c is on the way." Even if this is true, it doesn't prevent you from filing your return now. The IRS won't audit you for that--your employer is responsible for withholding the correct amount of Social Security tax.

To ease you mind, you can review your W-2 and make sure that:

Box 4 is at least 6.2% of box 3; and
Box 4 is less than the maximum of $8,537.40.
