Investment Income Overstated in Turbotax

In my income section in TurboTax I have inputted all my investment related forms (1099-Div, 1099-INT, etc). I have triple checked EVERY NUMBER. When I look at my total wages and income section, the total for investment income is higher than the numbers I have input. Then when I click this new capital gains button, that number is also higher, and higher even than the total it shows on wages and income. Why is this happening??? How do I fix it? I have literally triple checked every single number.

Investment Income Overstated in Turbotax

where sre you looking - - in Turbotax summary or the actual return? Only the actual return matters.

Investment earnings commonly include interest, dividends, income from rental properties, royalties and the profit you earn from trading stocks.

I’m looking in the TurboTax summary. Which I would hope would be accurate…. 

how do I look at the actual form to see what that’s showing?
