To correct this you can file an amended return. Before you amend make sure that your original return has been fully processed by the IRS, this means that you have received your refund or that you have already paid if you had a balance.
Once you are ready you will go into your TurboTax account, go to the FAQ's on the right side, select How do I amend my return, and select Amend Using TurboTax. You will only need to make the changes necessary to the return, which in your case it will be to correct the way you entered the Hero Pay. The program will calculate the rest of your return. For more information on amending your return see the TurboTax help article How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS.
