Should ProConnect accurately calculate the excess Social Security withheld from the information entered on the W-2s?

1 W-2 included Box 12 - code A amount which was not calculated in the total credit.

Don't see why not.  Give us some numbers to work with, including what ProConnect Tax spit out vs your expectation.

The way it works is that the full and proper amount of OASDI that should have been withheld for the W-2 with Box 12, Code A would be taken into account for purposes of computing the credit on Sch 3.  The Code A uncollected OASDI would, in turn, show up on Sch 2 as other taxes.  The net of these two would be exactly the excess your client should receive credit for.  Fair and square.
