The W2 federal withholding entered in TurboTax is $83885.79 but the amount reported in the final tax return is $84428.  I can't trace that number and can't fix the problem. Thanks.

Check any 1099R forms box 4.  Also  If you have a lot of investments there is an extra Medicare tax on 1040 line 62.  That is offset with an extra amount on line 64 with withholding.
