Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Since you have qualified dividends, your tax is not calculated using the tax tables. You cannot rely on the information in those to determine the tax on your return. Instead is is calculated using the dividend and capital gains worksheet. The tax table provides a higher tax, because it isn't subtracting the qualified dividends from your "regular" taxable income and using the lower rate applicable to them.
It seems you are likely in the tax bracket that allows long term capital gains and qualified dividends to be taxed at $0, so that amount is deducted from your taxable income.
If your dividends are in the neighborhood of $3650-$3700, this explains the difference. If they're nowhere close to that amount, let us know and we can troubleshoot further.
