Why do I have additional medicare tax (form 8959)?

TurboTax Free Edition Online

Form 8959 for Additional Medicare Tax is automatically added to your tax return if your medicare wages (Box 3 on Forms W2) plus any self-employment income exceeds the following thresholds:

Married filing jointly $250,000

Married filing separately $125,000

Single $200,000

Head of household $200,000

Qualifying surviving spouse $200,000

If you believe that your income is below these amounts please double-check your W2 entries as well as the net income for self-employment, if applicable.
