Schedule 2 Line 8

My Schedule 2 Line 8 had two inputs, one from From8959 and another from Form 8960, Box C is not checked. But the total number of Line 8 is more than the sum of the numbers from 8959 and 8960. Why is that?

Thanks for the reply, Marilyn! Actually, just realized that my Schedule 2 Line 8 number matches the sum of the Form 8959 and 8960 if I use the Form 8959 Line 18 number instead of that in Line 24. So the original question should be, should the Form 8959 Line 18 or Line 24 be used for Schedule 2 Line 8? Thanks again!
