Why has interest been doubled in tax return?

[adaliu1122]

I have $304 interest from bank and $70 from IRS, now in tax return line 2b, shows 678, which means 304*2 70=678. the app throught the wrong information.

Please look at the source of the entries. 

Desktop, switch to Step-by-Step

Go to Income (or Wages & Income)

Scroll down to "Interest and Dividends"

Click on the blue amounts to see the source for Desktop

Click Add/Edit for Online

You appear to be using the Online version of TurboTax, and you can’t do step-by-step in the Online version.  KrisD15’s first four lines of direction apply to a TurboTax Desktop version.

To edit or delete your interest income in TurboTax Online:

2. Click Federal in the left pane, if you’re not already there
3. Click Income & Expenses in the banner
4. Click Show more to the right of Investments and Savings
5. Click Revisit to the right of Interest on 1099-INT
6. Scroll down the Your investments and savings page until you see fields with Interest (1099-INT) listed.  You’ll be able to edit or delete those, as necessary

Thanks for the instructions. Since I had uploaded my investment statements to the app, the app grabbed the 1099-int into 1040 automatically.  As you mentioned, I deleted the investing 1099-Int. And it worked.
