Question

Why is the Federal Review saying I have a W-2c coming? My employer did not defer my soc sec taxes. Is there something in my W2 data entry that triggers this message?

The message I receive from TurboTax is "Heads up! You have a W-2c coming"

It is supposedly a "helpful" notice (which is may not be helpful) , and does not change, or stop your filing of taxes in any way.

It is likely just a calculation  screw-up in the software (a BUG introduced in Wed night's update) ...that does not affect your taxes in any way.

 

Just edit each W-2 you entered, and make sure box 4 is entered to be the same number as on your paper/PDF W-2 from that employer.  If box 4 is 6.2% of box 3...then nothing is wrong, and ignore that notice entirely.
