Excess social security withheld by two employers with one EIN; how do I list this on my 1040

Hi.  I changed divisions in a large company last year.  Both divisions sent me a W2 and both deducted Social Security tax from my wages and I overpaid by approximately $1,000.  The company has an agreement with the IRS where multiple divisions use the same EIN.  I understand I will need to file form 843 to request a refund of excess Social Security tax paid.  My question is this:  on form 1040 do I include the $1,000 excess Social Security tax withheld?  Or do I subtract it manually?  My concern is if I subtract it manually the IRS may come back to me and say there's an inconsistency between the Social Security tax withholdings on my 1040 and on my W2's.  

Thank you.

Yes, enter the W2 information to match your Forms W2.  Processing the form 843 will make the necessary social security adjustments.
