Turbo says my regular tax is $968 based on $11,111 of taxable income. Tax tables show $1113 for Married filing Jointly - (10%). I agree with tax income $ but not tax $ ??

recap: I'm in agreement on taxable income but question how turbo can calculate a tax that is not 10% as is the tax tables. table vs. turbo can differ due to % but not $145 variance.

The tax tables are not used for many tax calculations.  For example, if you had any capital gains or qualified dividends, that income is taxed at  a lower rate.  The tables are only used if all your income is taxed at ordinary income rates.
