You should check to see if you overpaid social security tax. Especially if neither job made $147,000, but the total of both jobs made more than that.

Employer payroll software have no knowledge of other jobs.

Did you enter your income from the previous job and the tax withheld from that in the portal for the new job? If not then the new job would assume your yearly income to be much less (since you started mid year) and your tax withholding would be lower than what it should be when consider both incomes.

I'm not sure I had a place to do that, my withholding still seems wonky for this upcoming year... the old job over withheld payout and was a smaller % of wages

This likely contributed to the issue and is so easily overlooked. I hate how easily it is to fuck yourself in our tax system. It's probably worth paying a CPA to verify just for this year for peace of mind alone.
