Bad Math in Wage Calculation?

My wife and I filed jointly and had a pretty simple return last year, two W-2s for me, one for her.  Doing a self-audit, I noticed that the sum of our W-2s does not match our "Wages, salaries, tips, etc. Attach Form(s) W-2", the number that TurboTax input for us is higher than what we actually earned.

 

How do I get this double-checked?  If it is an error by TurboTax I want it fixed for free.  If this confusion is just an error in how I am interpreting the numbers, I will happily pay for the consultation.

if you are certain that this is not the result of an input error, then you might want to contact Support (link below) during regular business hours.
