Did you have dividends reported on a K-1 form by chance you forgot about ?  They are added to the dividends you entered from a 1099-DIV.

You have to recheck everything to find out where that difference comes from.

Do not use override.

Save a PDF of the return ad look at the dividend worksheet to see where the total comes from.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  

                              

Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

This is exactly what happened- the business had dividends reported on the K-1 which transferred to the 1040.
