my W2 already include Additional medcare tax but turbo tax is recalculating the amount and adding it to my taxes

It depends. One possible reason is that you are married. Additional Medicare tax is often computed on your tax return when a married couple files jointly and their income exceeds $250,000 together. The reason that it is computed on your tax return and not through payroll is that one person only needs to pay the additional tax once their income exceeds $200,000.
