RSU Income, Box 14 Correct, but wrong on 1040

I received a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS for my 2018 taxes stating that I did not report RSUs (box 14 of my W2) as income. I went back to check and I uploaded my W2 properly, yet Turbotax missed this in my filing. Basically, here is what I found after investigating how this could have happened (numbers changed for simplicity):

 

W-2 box 14 (other): $10,000 RSU

1040, line 14 (other): $129

 

At first I thought it could have been my error. So I went back into TT, went to 2018 and selected "Amend my taxes." I re-uploaded by W-2, double checked all numbers were correct (confirmed that my RSUs in box 14 were $10,000), and resubmitted. It then spit out a 1040 with the same random number. I haven't had this issue in the past since my employer reports RSU as income in box 14. I receive a 1099-B but that is just for backup and many articles/chats confirm that I don't need to enter this. What is going on here? Was this a simple error on TT's part? Looks like my 1099-G wasn't reported too...
