Turbo Tax Deluxe 2022 1040 Schedule 1, line 8 error

The error you have mentioned means the "Statutory Employee" box is marked on your W-2 entry into TurboTax.  If your W-2 is only reporting deferred compensation, this box should not be checked.  You need to review your Form W-2 you received from your employer to ensure it is not checked then review your TurboTax entry of the form as well.  If your employer sent the Form W-2 with the box checked, you need to request a corrected form be sent to you.

To review your Form W-2 entry in TurboTax Online and uncheck the box, you can follow these steps:

1. Within your federal tax return in TurboTax Online go to Income & expenses
2. Click Edit on the Job(W-2) line you need to change
3. Verify or enter the W-2 until you get to Box 13 and uncheck the Statutory Employee box

I, too, found that my return was rejected when I had Box 11 Non-qualified pension (I don't remember the exact wording).   In my case, the W2 was for imputed income for life insurance plus the non-qualified pension plan.   You are correct... the boxes below 1 & 2 add up to the box 1 & 2 numbers.   The cause appears to arise from the question that you are asked after entering the W2 with a box 11 amount in it.   If you answer, "yes, this was a withdrawal of cash", it'll trigger leaving the box 11 amount from your 1040 wage line and add the box 11 to the schedule 1 (other income) line on the specific line for "non-qualfied pension".   This will be added to your income on page 1 of the 1040 under "other income".   Hence, you're taxed on everything but the box 11 under wages and the box 11 on other income.   On the other hand, if, after entering the W2 info into Turbo Tax, you click on the box "No, this was contributed..." (I don't  remember the wording), all of the taxable income (including line 11 non-qualified pension) shows up under wages.   Hence, you're paying tax on line 11 either way at the same rate.   One could argue that the first is probably "more correct", however, the end result is that you're paying the appropriate tax on the income from wherever.   When you check the no box, the electronic filing works.

Just to clarify, go back to your federal input...go to inputting W2, click the edit (if you don't do this, you won't see the yes/no box to check).   Verify the info on the 2 screens, save the W2, it'll say "you're refund is Xxx" and then the next screen will have a question (I don't remember) and then the next screen is the question about the non-qualified income.

Good luck.

I was working in my unemployment income and turns out that the same amount appears  on other income Schedule 1, impacting negative my return. I can no find a way to edit it. any one knows?

Your unemployment benefits will be reported on a Form 1099-G but those are used for government payments and can be entered in different places in the return, depending on the reason for the payment.
 

I suggest you delete any Form 1099-Gs in the return and then go back to enter it in the section for unemployment benefits. 

To delete a duplicate form,  you can use Delete Forms

1. In the left menu, select Tax Tools
2. Select Tools
3. Select Delete a form
4. Scroll to the Form 1099G that is duplicated and click Delete on the right
5. Repeat for any other Form 1099-Gs
6. Then scroll to the bottom and select Continue with my return

That will delete any duplications and you can now enter the unemployment benefits in the correct section.

1. Return to Wages and Income, on the left
2. Scroll down to Unemployment and click Show More
3. Click on Start or Revisit for Unemployment and paid family leave

If you still show duplicate income check the other sections of Wages and Income to see if any say Revisit, rather than Start.
