The IRS has contact me to send backup information for the amount on line 12a of my 1040 form for 2019 taxes
there are multiple possibilities
here's a link to 1040 instructions for line 12a - look on page 31. (yes the instructions are for 2020 return but they are the same as 2019)

I found the 2019 tax instructions

Line 12a of 1040 is calculated from the tax instruction table based on adjusted income
