Please clarify your question.

Did you get a W-2, or was it a 1099-NEC or 1099 MISC?
Did you ask your employer for an explanation?

Please contact us again to provide some additional details.

If you did get a 1099 form you will have to pay the Social Security and Medicare taxes.

I got 2 W2's. 1 for my old employer and 1 for new employer. I just noticed it yesterday while I was trying to file my tax. Planning to reach out tomorrow but wanted to check if it is normal. I had switched employers last year. So from Jan to July 2024 I have Social security tax deducted from my wages with old employer. My new employers W2 has it blank in Social security wages and taxes. I check the paystubs for my new employer as well but they have not deducted any social security tax, not sure why.
