I suggest you preview your Form 1040.  To do so:   With your TurboTax Online return open. Click on Tax Tools on the left-hand menu. Click on Tools (you may have to scroll down for Tools to appear). Select View Tax Summary in the pop-up box. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left menu. This displays the 1040 form, including Schedules 1-3 You should see the $368 in both lines 3a and 3b.  The amount in 3b is the amount that is included in your total income on line 9.     On your 1099-DIV, Box 1a includes amounts reported in box 1b.  The Qualified dividends in box 1b are the portion of Ordinary dividends in box 1a that qualify for the reduced capital gains tax rate.

Delete your W-2(s) and re-enter them.  Do not enter any cents into box 5 or 6, round down.   Make sure the amount in box 6 is 1.45% or less than the amount in box 5.   You may want to delete the w-2 and re-enter it if the issue persists.     How to delete forms in TurboTax Online    How to delete forms in TurboTax Desktop

Your 2024 tax return must have been accepted by the IRS for your prior year AGI to be on record. For more details, refer to the TurboTax article What if I entered the correct AGI and I'm still getting an e-file rejection? For more information.   You may also find it helpful to review the TurboTax article How do I fix e-file reject IND-031-04 or IND-032-04?

Thanks for the reply. So I don't need to ask Robinhood to correct it? In that case when adding 1099-MISC, should I enter them in one 1099-MISC (the number won't match IRS' record then) or enter them in two separate 1099-MISC?

I thought there was a question or checkbox or something that asked about it.  You may want to go through the questions for the assets again to see if you can find it.   If you can't find it, when it asks you for the category of the asset (office furniture, tools, etc.) , you can select 'other' (or whatever it is called), the 'other' again.   Then it should let you manually select the criteria, including Mid-Quarter convention in the 4th quarter.   Another option is using the "Forms" mode in the desktop version.  Find the "Asset Entry Wks" for that asset, then scroll WAY down to the bottom.  There should be a line that says "MACRS Convention" and probably says "HY", which you would need to change to "MQ".  

If you filed last year using TurboTax Desktop, you will need your tax date file.  Please see how do I find my tax data file (.tax file) on my Windows computer for guidance on how to search for this file.  If you did not save the file to your computer, you can also request a transcript from the IRS directly by following these instructions.   If you prepared your return last year using TurboTax Online, you will find the prior year tax returns in Tax Home.  See where can I find my returns from prior years for more information.
