What? Your employer entered the amount that you see in Box 6--that is how much the employer withheld from your pay for Medicare. You just enter the data from the boxes of your W-2 exactly as it appears. What are you trying to do?
What number in your W-2 do you think is higher?
Not sure what you are asking? W2 box 6 is not for any additional amounts. Box 6 for Medicare tax is a straight flat 1.45% of the amount in box 5. No max.
