Why is my total income with Turbotax slightly different from the total I get when I add up the same numbers?

When I add up the numbers shown to calculate my total income--which are correct-, I get a different figure from Turbotax when I add up the same numbers, both when using a calculator and when adding them up manually. It's a small difference, but it needs to be accurate.

TurboTax makes necessary adjustments in the background to determine how much income should be reported on the tax return. To better assist you can you provide the following information:

 

1. Are you using TurboTax Online or TurboTax Desktop?

2. Are you reviewing the 1040 or looking at the income summary within the program?

3. What kinds of income are you reporting?

 

The answers to these questions can help us better understand what you're experiencing.
