I received 2 W-2s from 2 different employers. I have checked both with the same SSN. I have excess Social Security withheld and error came back with this message

"ExcessSocSecAndTier1RRTATaxAmt" has a non-zero value, then at least two Form W-2s with the same 'EmployeeSSN' must be present in the return."

Can I exclude out the excess from the 2nd employer when filing the tax and later file form IRS 843 to claim back the access?

I did and re submit again and again got rejected.

Is one of your W-2s for IHSS work with $0 in box 1? If so, the W-2 with $0 is not being transmitted to the IRS with your return. A work-around for this would be to add $1 in box 1 of that W-2.

You should be able to file the W-2 as they are reported.

The excess should be reported on Schedule 3 line 11

Can you see if the excess is reported on Schedule 3?

If it is, you shouldn't need to change anything.

Yes. It is reported in Schedule 3 Line 11 1040

Everytime I re submit it came back the same issue asking me to make sure both W-2 has the same employee number. I have deleted both W-2 and input. Still can’t go through. What should I do?
