If you have too much Social Security withheld on two Forms W-2, the program will calculate the overage in the form of a payment and it will be included in your refund. The payment will show on Line 71, 1040.

We paid too much SS tax from multiple W2s. Do I reduce what I send to the IRS? How does that get notated?
