T/P received a promotion during the year. She received 2 W-2's at year-end, one for each position, and excess FICA was withheld. The W-2's have the same FED ID# but slightly different company names.

The employer will not refund the excess. In Proseries, if it is the same company ID#, the program will not refund the excess.

Is there a work around in the program.

The employer will not refund the excess.

The employer is wrong.

And there's no way to *work around it* in the program, 'cuz the employer is wrong.

Excess withheld by the same employer (same FEIN) won't be considered by the IRS, or the software.
