First, double-check your entries. If they are all correct, look to see if there is an amount and description immediately to the left of Line 1. Dependent care benefits, which should be shown in box 10 of your Form(s) W-2. But first complete Form 2441 to see if you can exclude part or all of the benefits. Employer-provided adoption benefits, which should be shown in box 12 of your Form(s) W-2 with code T. But see the Instructions for Form 8839 to find out if you can exclude part or all of the benefits. You may also be able to exclude amounts if you adopted a child with special needs and the adoption became final in 2021. Scholarship and fellowship grants not reported on Form W-2. Also enter “SCH” and the amount on the dotted line next to line 1. However, if you were a degree candidate, include on line 1 only the amounts you used for expenses other than tuition and course-related expenses. For example, amounts used for room, board, and travel must be reported on line 1. Excess elective deferrals. The amount deferred should be shown in box 12 of your Form W-2, and the “Retirement plan” box in box 13 should be checked. If the total amount you (or your spouse if filing jointly) deferred for 2021 under all plans was more than $19,500 (excluding catch-up contributions as explained later), include the excess on line 1. This limit is (a) $13,500 if you have only SIMPLE plans, or (b) $22,500 for section 403(b) plans if you qualify for the 15-year rule in Pub. 571. Although designated Roth contributions are subject to this limit, don’t include the excess attributable to such contributions on line 1. They are already included as income in box 1 of your Form W-2.

Question

When I review the end of my tax return to submit, it has a different amount on my wages and salaries compared to what I put in from my wages and salary off my W2. Why ?
