His pay stubs show he has been making contributions, and taxed after the contribution. My question is what happens on the employers W-3 ? if the W2 amounts are shown, then the SS, and medicare tax withheld is wrong. Advice on how to correct, or should I just let client know. It does not affect his tax return.

Sounds like a W-2c is in order. Are taxable wages on the W-2 the same as the Social Security and Medicare wages?

Thanks Ironman for the quick reply, and yes all are same on W2, but paystub shows SS, Medicare on gross. Year end on pay stub and W2 do not match

401(k) contributions are subject to SS and Medicare taxes.

But taxable wages shouldn't agree with SS and Medicare wages if they made a retirement plan contribution.

Correct - unless it was a Roth 401k contribution. Box 12 should have codes in it for the contribution.
