You are seeing this because the amount of Medicare taxes withheld in box 6 is Not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5.  Remove any cents for the Medicare wages and see if the upgrade message goes away.

@user17692885947 Delete the w-2 and re-enter.  Make sure the amount in box 6 is 1.45% or less of the amount in box 5.

What is the amount in box 5 and what is the amount in box 6?

I removed the cents from box 6, and it went through without making me upgrade. 

The government gets a little bonus from me this year I guess.
