What the IRS language says

We did not process your request for a credit for the employer’s share of the Social Security tax (6.2%) on the exempt wages of qualified employees. The total of the “Taxable social security wages” and “Taxable social security tips” lines must be greater than or equal to the amount shown on the “Exempt wages/tips paid to qualified employees” line. We have processed the remainder of your return. Request the credit by submitting the appropriate Adjusted Employment Tax return.
