Last year I had $5,338 in 1099-DIV income, but the "2025" Column in the Interest and Dividends section shows $7,123. This number is a clickable link; when I click on it, I get a message telling me "Here is the dividend income you've entered so far: 1099-DIV Dividends $5,338"
When I switch to the Forms view I see all my 1099-DIVs listed, and the total adds up to $5,338 as expected.
I can't figure out where the extra $1,785 is coming from!

I get to answer my own question. Turns out, one of my 1099-DIVs had an entry in box 12 for "exempt-interest dividends" in the amount of $1,785; I had only looked at the box 1 numbers.
