Why, when I scanned W-2 form, the number for Medicare tax withheld is higher than the one in the employer form?

In the W-2, Medicare tax withheld $ 1183.82   When scanned, it is $3540.02.
Why?

Sometimes errors occur when you import, scan or snap photos of W-2's.   The entries need to match the W-2 that was issued by your employer.  Sometimes the best way to make sure the W-2 is entered correctly is to do it by hand----enter each amount from each box by hand--carefully---yourself.
