W-2 wages on 199A Statement A Summary

Will you please tell me why the W-2 wages recorded here are greater than the actual W-2 wages of all employees?

I have been on the phone for hours and have been passed around from one help desk to another. None of the Turbo Tax CPAs with 20+ years of experience can answer my question as to why the 199A Worksheet that Turbo Tax calculates shows the W-2 Wage amount greater than what is on Line 7 and 8 of Form 1120S.  One rep said I should just override the amount that the software calculated. Could it be that the software has a glitch and is calculating incorrectly? This happened with both the 2018 and 2019 calculations.  If anyone knows, please help!!!

Tim just discovered the answer!!! Section 199A sums COGS Labor with W-2 wages and reports it all as W-2 wages on 199A.  If the company's COGS Labor is really 1099 reportable compensation, you will need to move that amount to another line on Form 1120S.
