Turbo Tax informed me I overpaid my SS taxes. They advised me to contact my employer. Turbo Tax adjusted the amount. Do I use Form 843 and mail it to IRS?

But first double check you didn't make a mistake entering it. Check boxes 3 & 4 on your W2. Box 4 should be 6.2% of box 3 up to a max of $7,960.80. So take the amount in box 3 and multiply it by .062. If box 4 is more than that you need to get a corrected W2 from your employer. But also go back and double check your W2 entries, you may have entered box 3 & 4 wrong. A lot of people who have asked this found they did enter an amount wrong.
A sure way to fix this is to delete the W2 and re-enter it. That may clear something out.
