Why does the total income under the review section show $13,103 when my W2 says $5,335?

2019           2020
Filing Status      Single Single
Total Income      $5,540 $13,103
Taxes withheld $344 $292
Federal deductions $5,890 $12,400

My 2020 W2 is for $5,335  but it is showing $13k in total income under the review section and my federal deductions are a lot higher for 2020 even though I am taking the standard deduction.

You would have to look at your tax form 1040 to see what is included.

 

To find you tax return in the online version of Turbo tax:

 

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
    1. My Info
    2. Federal
    3. State
    4. Review
    5. File
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop down select Tools
  4. From Pop up menu 
    1. View Tax Summary
  5. On the left sidebar
    1. Preview my 1040
  6. This will bring up your current tax return

Line 1 is your wages

Line 9 is your total income.

 

Everything from line 1 - 8 are included in total income.
