Form 1040 Box 25c

Turbo tax gave me an amount in Form 1040 Box 25c that I did not input, and cannot trace to how it came to be. I read suggestions that it could be extra Medicare tax withheld by employer, which Turbo tax calculates by reading W2 data. Is there a way to see how Turbo tax arrived at the amount?

You can see the amounts that comprise line 25c by reviewing the Tax Payments Worksheet.

 

The amounts that are included on line 25c include any federal income tax withheld on your Form(s) W-2G, any Additional Medicare Tax withheld, any federal income tax withheld that is shown on a Schedule K-1, and federal tax withheld that is shown on Form 1042-S, Form 8805, or Form 8288-A. 

 

To preview your Form 1040, including government and TurboTax worksheets before you file, refer to the TurboTax article How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing? You can view the entire return and select the tax Payments Worksheet to print.

Any amount on the Form 1040 Line 25c would come from a W-2G, from a Form 8959 Line 24 (Additional Medicare Tax) or any federal income tax withheld that is shown on a Schedule K-1.

 

Did you enter enter a W-2G for gambling winnings, a Schedule K-1 or a Form 8949?
