I have two W2's from tow different employers, and answered "Yes" to the question "Are all W2's listed above from different employers?" however the ~$7K in SS tax overpayment is not being added to my Fed taxes paid.  Seems like the form is not calculating correctly.

    This is a known problem and has been reported to the TurboTax Moderators.  Waiting on a fix...

    is there a paying agent involved so both w-2's show the same EIN. (TT will not calculate excess soc sec since the"employer" is supposed to refund it which is not correct)    if not make sure the right taxpayer is shown

     

    if the ein is the same, TT is working on this issue.  it's been an unrecognized issue for many years.  

     

     

    if your married and each has a w-2 they are not combined to see if there is excess soc sec withheld.

    Do two or more of the W-2's you received have the same employer EIN?

    No they are two distinct employers with different EIN
