TT is only adding my dividend income from one brokerage and not the other, even though the correct info is in the software. How and where can I input the correct total on the summary page?

You can try deleting your Form(s) 1099-DIV if they are incorrect or have not entries. You can enter them manually to ensure they are properly reported.

To delete Form 1099-DIV, you can do the following:

Open/continue your return
Click on "Search"
And in the search bar type"1099-DIV"
Select "Jump to 1099-DIV"
It'll take you to a screen that shows your Form(s) 1099-DIV that you have entered.
Next to the Form 1099-DIV you want to delete, click on the (down-Facing) caret
Click on the "garbage can" to delete this form

You can enter your Form(s) 1099-DIV information using the steps below:

Thanks for taking time to respond. I had ended up doing what you had suggested in order to get my taxes done on time. Finding the the error in TT's arithmetic was a disappointing surprise for me, and left me wondering, as a long time user, how much I either overpaid or underpaid in taxes in the past.
