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

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
