Why does my final income on my tax return not match what I entered into TurboTax?

The sum of our W2s, 1099s, etc. does not add up to what TurboTax says

It may be that some of your income is not be taxable so it doesn't show in its entirety in TurboTax. I suggest you take a look at your Form 1040 and schedules 1 through 3 so you can identify what is on your tax return broken out by income source.

 

 Choose Tax Tools from your left menu bar in TurboTax Online

  1. Choose Tools
  2. Choose View Tax Summary
  3. See the Preview my 1040 option in the left menu bar and click on it
  4. Choose the Back option in the left menu bar when you are done

What line on your tax return are you looking at?  The Taxable income on 15 is after the Standard Deduction is subtracted.   And there can be adjustments on lines 8 & 10 Adjustments from Schedule 1.  

You need to look at the actual tax return not just a review or summary screen.
