@Mike9241 Great information! Yes, I am using the TT Taxcaster tool. My mistake was thinking that Qualified Dividends were separate from Ordinary Dividends. I now realize that they are included within Ordinary Dividends. So I was effectively double counting the Qualified Dividends. And that is why MY total income was more than the sum of my income inputs! (Plus the fact that only 85% of SS goes to income.)
I then found this:
Ordinary dividends are the total of all the dividends reported on a 1099-DIV form. Qualified dividends are all or a portion of the total ordinary dividends.
Thank you very much!
