Thanks.  I redid the numbers and found MY error.  Oops.  I had erroneously entered one of my IRA distributions as a Roth instead of Traditional.  Hence, my totals were incorrect.

Please clarify your question.

  • What number are you looking at?
  • What are you comparing it to?
  • Did you check what is on your 1040 tax return?
    • Total income is line 9, and is the sum of lines1-8

Please contact us again to provide some additional details. 

 

You can preview your tax return by going to:

 

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop-down select Tools

  7. Select Preview my 1040.
  8. Line 1-8 list income by category
  9. Schedules 1,2 & 3 are included if you scroll down past your 1040.
