Box 4 appears to a different number than my w-2. Delete old income and created new one but different number than on w-2 appears still.

Are you importing the W-2? If so, delete the imported W-2 and enter it manually instead. Then the number in box 4 will be what you enter. Entering it manually only takes a couple of minutes. It will be much faster and easier than trying to figure out why it doesn't import correctly.

Box 4 is for Social Security withholding.  It  should be box 3 x .062 up to a max of  $9,932.40 on $160,200 of wages.  Did you get any message like your employer took out too much?  How much is the difference?

Ok then leave the cents off of box 4.  What is in box 3 & 4 on your W2?  What shows up on Turbo Tax for box 4?
