Certainly...don't attempt to file until you see/print your actual forms...and that the numbers make absolute sense.

If you are using the "Online" software, sue the left-side Tools menu to find the selection to preview your form 1040...then look at all the $$ amounts to see which are ridiculous...then go back to that particular income section to find your entry error.

 

If you are using the "Desktop" software....switch to Forms Mode...to look at your 1040 to see if you can see which income area has a ridiculous number and then go investigate that area.

Still can't tell?   start thru all the income areas in the interview and check the totals for ALL your income types....one of them is screwy.

 

Finally, if you uploaded any tax forms using a picture or PDF upload...delete that form entirely and re-enter it manually.  The A.I. that interprets those Picture/PDF uploads is prone to some massive errors (and, my opinion, should never be used)   Only direct imports of tax forms from provider are 98% accurate..Pictures are NOT.
