1040 Line 37 Error in TurboTax 2024 Desktop

I just noticed that Line 37 (amount you owe) in my 2024 1040-SR (saved to PDF) is $10 more than the amount in the TT main screen "Federal Tax Due" and the "Electronic Filing Instructions" (which was actually deducted from my bank account). I let the program do the 10/29/2025 update and the error seems to have been fixed, as Line 37 now has the correct figure. Did the IRS get the 1040-SR electronically with the good or the bad amount? Should I be worried about this?

Don't know  what  happened but the $10 was probably a penalty on line 38.  Sounds like it worked out ok.

Nothing to do with Line 38... The error shows up even on the "Electronic Filing Instructions".
