Client received a W-2 with box 4 that did not reconcile to the software calculated amount. This W-2 did the deferral for my client.

It matters in this situation as employee has multiple W-2s and get a credit for excess SS.

It's my understanding a W-2C is supposed to be issued when the amounts are repaid. Has anyone else run into the yet? Is my client supposed to extend, do a wait-and-see, and potentially amend if one or more W-2Cs come in after 10/15?

Bump.

Fun fact: when we would ride around together, him retired and myself pre-employment, my grandfather used to pull over at "BUMP" in the road signs and relieve himself. I asked him why when I was about 8 or 9, his response was that the sign stands for "Because U Must Pee".

No one has dealt with this yet besides me (the FICA deferral that is)?

See page 27 of the W-2/W-3 instructions.

Can you point me to exactly what I should be looking for? Sorry, looking at page 27 of the 2020 tax year version and I don't see anything relevant?

SumwunLost sent you to the instructions for the employer who has to make changes after the deferral is repaid.
You will need to look at page 100 of the 2020 Form 1040 instructions as to how the employee handles it on Form 1040 when he may have over-withholding of SS due to multiple employers.

The TP must potentially amend if one or more W-2Cs come in.
