I am receiving this notification:W-2c is on the way, deferred social security tax withheld. I have not done anything like this but my box 4 is less than %6.2 of my box 3.

Does that mean my employer did withheld less taxes than expected for my social security taxes? If yes, what should I do? Thanks.

Some customers are incorrectly getting a message that "...a W-2c is on the way."  Even if this is true, it doesn't prevent you from filing your return now.  The IRS won't audit you for that--your employer is responsible for withholding the correct amount of Social Security tax.

To ease you mind, you can review your W-2 and make sure that:

• Box 4 is at least 6.2% of box 3; and
• Box 4 is less than the maximum of $8,537.40.
