Why is the total amount shown for Investments and Savings on the Your Income page more than the total of the individual amounts I entered?

The total of the amounts I entered is $19,439.34, but the total reported on the "Your Income" page is $26,932. Something seems to have gone wrong.

Is the program showing sale proceeds from investments rather than profit? 

Could that be the difference?

Never mind, I found the problem. The program evidently misinterpreted a 1099-INT form that I scanned in using a picture from my phone. It entered a tax exempt amount that did not exist on the form. This probably happened because the form provided to me from the bank was in a non-standard format.
