When I enter my Social Security Tax withheld amount from my W2, I am receiving a message on Turbotax that my employer withheld too much. This is not accurate. The Social Security Tax that was withheld is correct. Is this a known issue with Turbotax Deluxe for 2020? Any help is appreciated!

Multiply the amount in box 3 + box 7 by 6.2%...is that the amount in box 4?
Yes, it is the amount in box 4.
Turbotax is really sensitive to rounding issues, I don't know why. Try removing the cents from the amount in box 4, or dropping it by $1. It won't change your tax or cause a rejection at the IRS.
Thank you for your help! I finally saw that there was an error in another box causing the issue.
What was it? It may help someone else.
