I know where the answers go for what parts but the duplicate tax is confusing me. I know that I don't use the whole quarterly wage amount and that social security has a wage base for line 2, 5a, and 5c. I have completed the rest. Please help explain the duplicate tax and wages so that I can finish. I do not understand what the duplicate payroll periods for tax purposes means.
