TurboTax saying a W-2c is on the way?

[JC234]

I did not have any tax taken out of my 2020 Social Security payments & I still get Turbo Tax Premier saying "based on your tax return info, you'll get a W-2c because you deferred payment of some of your Social Security taxes last year."  I paid tax via quarterly estimated tax.  Must be a Turbo Tax programming error.  Is Turbo Tax aware of this error?  I hope they fix it  ASAP!

Neither have I deferred Social Security tax. I can't understand why I would not receive a W2c

Thanks

This was a known problem that had been resolved.  Please be sure you have all current updates.

Only the customers who now legitimately will receive a W-2C are supposed to get the pop up.

A W-2c form is used by the United States Internal Revenue Service for tax filing and reporting services. This form is known as a Corrected Wage and Tax Statement form.

Im a school teacher and received the same message from the IRS/turbo tax.  I made very little last year and claimed the SS amount on my W2.  I have no idea what they are talking about.  The school district has not heard about any of this either (no W2c has been processed.)

[SparksroofingLLC]

I have filed my taxes and then I received the same message.  If you don't receive the W2c  call your employer to see if they have heard about this.

Do not do anything unless you actually do get a W2C.

if you were a federal employee, the feds screwed up your SS withholding due to the "relief" they gave us... https://www.fedagent.com/news-articles/payroll-tax-deferral-program-leaves-federal-employees-seeking...

so my SS withholding is all messed up and below the 6.2%

Yes, but you did receive that grace period that is outlined in the link you submitted.

My version is up to date but I still get the bug:

bug still here

Some of these error messages have been randomly appearing. According to this Turbo Tax article written by DMarkM1, "You may delete and re-enter your W2(s) to see if the message clears.  If the message persists, you may ignore it.  It has no impact on your tax returns."

Did you receive one? I got the same message and I have been retired 20 years!!!

[KathrynG3]

Since there are no wage earnings for 2020, please disregard the message. It will have no impact on your return or ability to e-file.
