Please go back to the Wages & Income section and review the entry for the W-2. Check box 2.

If you imported the W-2, please delete it and re-enter it manually.

Did you pay any estimates? Those sometimes end up on line 17 if you entered them in the wrong place. Is the wages on line 1 right? Maybe you entered a W2 twice?

Still have questions?
