I DO NOTORIES AND AM NOT REQUIRED TO PAY TAXES ON THE FEES COLLECTED. WHY DOES THE SYSTEM STILL SHOW $2902 INCOME? SHOULD IT NOT BE ZERO?

Notary public fees are taxable for federal income tax purposes. They are, however, exempt from self-employment (FICA) tax.

With your tax return open in TurboTax online, enter "notary public, se tax" in the search box and you will find a link to the place in your return where you can adjust your self-employment tax.
