If you work for more than one employer during the year, each employer is required to withhold Social Security taxes up to the maximum for that year. If the combined amount of Social Security tax withheld is more than the annual maximum amount, you'll receive a tax credit on the excess amount.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> \r\n\r\nIf a single employer withheld too much Social Security tax, then instead of the tax credit on your tax return, you need to contact your employer and have your employer refund you the excess Social Security tax withheld. For example, if you only had one job and had $20,000 in wages, and your employer made an accounting mistake and withheld $1,500 in Social Security taxes from your wages instead of the correct amount of $1,240, you would need to have your employer fix the mistake and adjust your Social Security taxes.",1777391509193]
