If the total SS taxes withheld from the two W-2's is over $8,853.60 then the employer has to refund you the excess taxes withheld.

are you sure you didn't work for 2 different companies (subsidiaries of a parent company) that use a common paymaster? that would be the reason the name and EIN is the same on both.
