Question

I am filing jointly with my spouse, and he has excess social security tax withheld from multiple employers. Why is this amount not automatically adding to my refund?

Only if he had two or more employers and the total of all Social Security taxes withheld were greater than $10,453.20 in 2024, would the excess taxes be entered on your tax return as a tax payment.

Is this the case for your spouse in 2024?

Yes, you can get a refund when too much Social Security tax is withheld from you.

The procedure depends on whether the excess withholdings were caused by multiple employers exceeding the maximum or too much being withheld by a single employer.

Can I get a refund for excess Social Security tax withheld?
