check your w-2 input.  maximum social security wages $132,900 maximum social security taxes that should be withheld $8239.80   (6.2% of social security wages).

Wages $50,000, amount withheld for SS is $3,100.  Turbotax says the correct amount is zero.  Clearly wrong!

Try deleting the W2 in question and re-entering information.  That number is not a calculated number, but an entry number.

First, review numbers that were entered.  Maximum earning subject to Social Security this year is $132.900 and the maximum tax is $8,240.

 

If an error persists, you may want to delete the W-2 and re-enter.  To delete a W-2: 

  • Click on Federal.
  • Click on Income & Expenses.
  • Under Your Income and expenses, click Edit/Add to the right of W-2.
  • Click the trashcan to the right of the W-2 to delete the entry.

I did reenter the information and double checked the information...Turbo Tax is still saying that 0 is the maximum that should be withheld (and looking on help this appears to be a common issue, not just my issue) It is now giving me wrong information on my state return and not recognizing the amount that I paid in (again I went and reentered the information). REALLY NOT IMPRESSED WITH TURBO TAX this year. I guess maybe next year I'll go with H&R block
