You'll need to explain that more.
Interest from 1099-INT's, K-1, or what?    And what are you experiencing by "doesn't add up?"

Interest from 1099-INT. I have ~$200, but sum shows up as ~$400. Even when I delete the 1099 form (there is only one), I have ~$200 in interest income show up on the summary page.

Try this:

With your return open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS.
In the Tools window, choose "Delete a form."
That will show you the forms in your return.

In that list do you see a 1099-INT you don't recognize?   It may say something like Schedule B - Form 1099-INT (untitled)

No, there wasn't. I ended up deleting the entire schedule B and re-importing everything and that worked. Seems like a software glitch. Very concerning that TB has this problem.

If you deleted the Schedule B, then be sure you re-enter everything that might have been on it:  1099-INT, 1099-OID, 1099-DIV,  K-1 interest.  Whatever your situation is.

You're posting in the middle of someone else's old already-answered thread when it's normally best to start your own new thread to avoid confusion and where it would have more visibility.  I happened to see it, however.   

 

You said that your interest income is $4676.29 and that turbo tax is saying the total is $4703.00.

There are a couple of possibilities:

TurboTax is either picking up another approx. $27 in interest on some worksheet somewhere, or it could have been a typo, transposed digits, etc., when entering your data.    Did you enter your documents manually, or did you import them from financial institutions?

 

Is this all 1099-INT interest?  Do you have multiple forms 1099-INT?   Be sure all the figures are entered correctly without typos.    And do you have any other interest such as on a K-1 or 1099-OID?

 

If you have confirmed the entries are correct without typos, we can tell you how to investigate to see if you can find a clue as to where the additional $27 might be coming from.   Are you using Online TurboTax or desktop software (CD/download)?
