Wages and Salary Populating Incorrectly

Hello - I'm working on the 2022 TurboTax Desktop Business DIY software. I've entered my Wages and Salaries Paid for >2% owners as $75,427. Once I click on "continue" and it takes me back to the deductions page, my Salaries and wages paid prepopulates to $78,317 instead of $75,427.  I've also tested this at $40,000 wages and salaries and then it populates to $42,890. 

 

Why is this? Why am I entering $75,427 and then having it adjust to $78,317 on the main deductions page? What am I missing? I only paid $75,427 in wages and salary!

I'm an LLC filing as an S-Corp.

Wages and Salary Populating Incorrectly

That $2,890 is coming from somewhere in your return.  That's not a normal error.  Some expense on your return has been mis-classified as wages and is joining the actual wages that you paid.  Go back through and find that $2,890.
