I don't have social security wages on my W2 what do I put in that spot?

If you do not have social security wages on your W-2 what do you put in that box?

[xmasbaby0]

If it is blank on your W-2 then leave it blank on your tax return.  There are some people---like teachers--- who do not pay in to Social Security.

[DoninGA]

Social Security wages should be in box 3 and the Social Security Taxes withheld should be in box 4 of the W-2.

Contact your employer for either an explanation of why there are no SS wages or taxes withheld or to get a corrected W-2.

What if box 3 social security wages has an amount but box 4 social security taxes withheld says zero? What does that mean?

Please see the two previous answers in the thread from xmasbaby and DoninGA.
