$833 is $10,000 divided by 12 (months). That really doesn't answer the question of where it came from, but it might trigger someone's recollection of doing that.
If your wife indeed had $833 and not $5000 in box 10, then your joint excess is $833. She didn't exclude a $5,000 to be in excess (no matter what her intentions were).
Make sense?
