Question

I'm on the screen showing Your income & expenses. The amount shown for Investments and Savings is different than when I go into that section and add up each item. Why?

When I click the "Add/Edit" button, then manually add all items shown the amounts are different. The difference isn't a lot (~300) but any difference is concerning. Is there some other hidden amount TurboTax uses to compute the amount shown on the "Your income and expenses" page?

    It's possible there's an amount flowing from another section of TurboTax.
