You can't change Form 1040 line 1 directly. You have to change the entries that feed into it. But there are a number of different kinds of income that get added into the wages on line 1 of your tax return, but do not come from W-2 box 1. Many, but not all, of these types of added wage income are indicated by an abbreviation and amount shown to the left of the total wages on line 1. Do you have an abbreviation to the left of the amount on line 1? The most common of these are the following.
SCH - Taxable scholarship income
HSH - Wages earned as a household employee but not reported on a W-2
DCB - Taxable dependent care benefits from W-2 box 10
Some other types of income that might be added into line 1, without an abbreviation, are the following.
