Is there any way for an employer to recover the employer's portion of overpaid FICA when the employee worked for two different employers? The situation is that for 2006, the $5840 employer's share was paid by Company A and $802 was paid by Company B. $802 was overpaid by the employers. I understand that $802 employee's share of overpaid FICA will be recovered by the employee when filing their 1040. How and which business can recover the employer's share that was overpaid? If there is not any way to recover this amount, what can be done to avoid this situation in subsequent years? Thanks in advance for your responses!
