My income for 2022 was $25,985.00, but when I get to the review page to file my return, it says my total income is $40,506. Where did this number come from?

Great job finding a problem! 

Preview your return.

• If you are using the online version:
  1. Go to the state return and enter 
  2. go to Tax Tools, 
  3. then select Tools, 
  4. select View Tax Summary, 
• In the desktop program, switch to forms mode.

If you can't see enough in the tax summary, I recommend that you go ahead and pay for the return. Then you can go to the print center and see every form.

My first thought was double w2 for a single, which is a standard deductions of $12,950 but the numbers aren't right. Your taxable income goes down with the standard or itemized deduction, not up.

Once you find the line of the extra income, you can work backwards and delete it. You can always reply here with where the extra income is for help.

Don't go by the review or summary screens.  Check the actual 1040 return.   What kind of income did you enter?  Just W2?  Or did you get any 1099R?  We need more info to help

Before filing,  You can preview the 1040 or print the whole return
