Thank you for providing the code, below you will find some details regarding this specific error:

"The sum of all Form W-2s, 'WagesAmt' must not be greater than the sum of ['WagesSalariesAndTipsAmt' in the return and (sum of all Schedule C (Form 1040), 'TotalGrossReceiptsAmt' when 'StatutoryEmployeeFromW2Ind' is checked)] unless Form 8958 or Form 8839 is present in the return. When evaluating this, a tolerance of $5.00 is allowed.

Hi, thank you for your reply. The information provided was included in the error code. What really ended up causing the issue was that within TurboTax for one of my W2's was that the form behind the scenes populated box 11 (as it should have since I entered that info in accordance with what was on my W2 for box 11) but it also populated box 10 on the form - that is something I did not input nor is it on my original W2 - I had to go to forms and delete that amount populated on box 10 and resubmit. there is a lot of discussion about this within posts which is what tipped me off for what to do.
