Why would my earned income be less than the income I'm being taxed on?

You might have a combination of earned income (wages) and unearned income (interest and dividends, rental income, capital gains). 

Ah, I see. I had $111.xx from capital gains from my brokerage account. That would be the difference. But now I have an excess contribution on my Roth IRA. Dang it. I wasn't sure how those two would interact and I guess I should have looked into it more.

Thank you! This was helpful.
