TurboTax calculated my tax using the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet. All the income amounts were correct and the tax on qualified dividends was correctly calculated. But the tax on the ordinary income using the Tax Computation Worksheet is not correct. TurboTax calculated my taxable ordinary income to be $186,067, which is correct. Based on the Tax Computation Worksheet that I found in the 2025 1040 Instructions book, the tax should be $186,067 x 24% - $14,306 = $30,350. But TurboTax calculated that to be $30,763, $413 higher. I called the support number and asked the "expert" I talked to to explain how and what formular TurboTax used to calculate the tax. For over half an hour, she did seem to understand what I was asking and finally said she needed to research and would call me back. It's been a week and nobody has called me back. Does anyone in the community have the same issue?

I think you're looking at the wrong row in the tables - assuming you're MFJ if you're seeing 14306 subtraction but you should be hitting the row above 186,067 x 0.22 - 10172 =30,762.74
Thank you, you are right! I looked at the wrong row! How I wish the "expert" I talked to could tell me that right away when I called. Thanks again!
