Why is line 2a of my 1040 form (tax exempt interest) larger than the tax exempt interest amounts that I put in the 1099-INT and 1099-DIV using the step-by-step method?

1) can be slightly larger if you have a form 1099-OID
2) can also be larger for some entries on a form K-1 if you entered one of those.
3) if a lot larger....then Edit each of the forms 1099-INT with box 8 $$ and 1099-DIV with box 11 $$ to make sure there wasn't a missed decimal...or double-keyed number.
4) If a lot larger and you imported the 1099-INT, -DIV forms, make sure they didn't get double-entered...especially if you imported twice.
5) still a problem? Delete the schedule B entirely, and re-enter each 1099-INT, -DIV (and-OID and K-1 forms if you have any)
