Go to income, then W-2s. First see if you have one entered twice. You can delete the extra. If that's not the problem, go into the W-2 and see if you made a typo error.

Try deleting them.  If you delete them does it still show wages on your return?  Then re enter them manually.  That usually clears something out.   Or are you a student?  

Do you have any letters by line 1?

SCH by 1040 line 1Wages  is  taxable scholarship income and the amount

HSH is for Household Help

DCB means Dependent Care Benefit
