When looking at my Federal Return it lists my Total Income much lower than my Gross Income, I'm trying to understand why?

Your Total Income can be less than your Gross Income if you had Other Credits and Deductions, in addition to subtracting the Standard Deduction (or Itemized Deduction). 

 

Review the Schedule 1 and Schedule 3 forms in your tax return that will show any additional Credits and Deductions you were eligible for.
