You are seeing this because the amount of Medicare taxes withheld in box 6 is Not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5.  Remove any cents for the Medicare wages and see if the upgrade message goes away.

OR -

Delete the w-2 and re-enter.  Make sure the amount in box 6 is 1.45% or less of the amount in box 5.

Thank you. This was my issue. Box 6 on a couple of my W2s were literally 1.456% And 1.46% of box 5. The one was rounded up by $0.002 Cents and that threw the whole thing off. Again thank you!
