Even before adding my standard deduction, the income amount I submitted is much higher than the total given before the deduction.

If your income is higher than you think it should be based on the numbers that you have entered then you should go back through your entries.  

 

Make certain that you haven't entered any income twice.  There are a lot of common mistakes with self-employment income like entering a 1099-NEC and then also entering the same income as schedule C income and so on.  Please make certain that nothing was entered more than once.

 

If the problem persists come back here and ask questions so we can help.

Try to narrow it down.  Like which lines 1-11 look too high?  Check all amounts.   Look for missing decimal points and extra digits.  If you imported any forms I would delete them and enter it again manually.
