Unemployment compensation should not be part of your wages on Line 1. If it is, then it is somehow entered into TurboTax twice. Only items entered in the section for W-2 income, foreign earned income, and a few other items should be part of this line. Unemployment compensation is reported on Schedule 1, Line 7, and then transferred to Line 8 of Form 1040.
Please return to the section for Form W-2 in TurboTax to be sure your unemployment compensation is not entered here. Delete it if it is. Then double-check the entries here and the number on Line 1.
There are no known issues with unemployment income being reported on Line 1.
