I need to know how I can get my W2 form updated because my payroll department did not deduct a certain amount of income?

I believe one of two areas might be the issue 1) SS wages may have not been correct or 2) Medicare deductions may not be correct

What problem are you having? If your W2 is wrong you need to ask your employer about it. But if it is right there is nothing you can fix now after the year has ended. Are you getting an error message like the employer took out too much SS?

For excess Social Security

There's been a lot of questions for this. Seems to be the way the employer's are rounding in box 4. Try leaving off the cents in W2 box 4. That's been working for other users. Maybe even reduce box 4 by $1.

Get a calculator and check each W2 box 3&4. Multiply box 3 x .062 and it should be box 4. The max for all box 4 combined (but only for each person) is $8,239.80. Even one penny over from rounding will be excess. So leave off the cents! Or post back with the amounts in boxes 3&4.

If you think something is incorrect on your W-2 you have to discuss that with your employer. No one else can change it and you cannot change it yourself.
