2022 Tax Computation Worksheet—Line 16.
Comparing Total Tax calculated by Turbo Tax and using 2022 Tax Computation Worksheet, I arrive at a different amount which is higher than that computed by Turbo Tax.

Look on the 1040/1040SR Wks - - not Form 1040, but the worksheet.   Scroll down until you see Tax Smart Worksheet.   In section A - what line is the X on?    That X will tell you where you can see the calculation or if A1 has the X, you would use the tax table.     Not all of your income is taxed at 22%.

If you have any of the following included in your return, the tax table doesn't give you accurate results:  

 

  • Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet
  • Schedule D Tax Worksheet
  • Schedule J
  • Form 8615
  • Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet

On the Tax Smart Worksheet - what LIne has the X?
