Question

Does anyone else have experience with a false message from Turbo Tax about Excess Social Security tax withheld?

When I clicked on "Learn More," TurboTax told me to multiply the amount in Box 3 by 0.062 to get the correct amount to enter in Box 4. I did that calculation, and the result is the same as the amount in Box 4. So there is no excess. Is Turbo Tax losing its mind?
