I am trying to figure out why total income in forms view is different from income in step by step view. Which is correct?

Are you looking at an income summary screen?

If you are looking at an income summary screen, that only shows what you entered, not the taxable amount.  It's just a reference to show you what you've already worked on.  Line 22 on your 1040 for total income is the taxable amount of your income entries.
