What is federal income tax withheld?

It is what your employer takes out of your paycheck and sends to the Treasury Dept to help pay your taxes at the end of the year. On your Form W-2, it is in Box 2.

 

It will appear on your 1040 on Line 17.

I understand your reply fully. I am trying to review the amount of taxes withheld and reported by me in the TT software.

Go back to the wages and income section to the entry for your W2.  Click on it and go through until you see the numbers for your W2 for the year.  See what amount you entered in to box 2.  That is the income tax withheld.
