What is way higher? Is Turbo Tax higher than your SSA-1099 or is the amount on the SS box 5 higher? Check the actual 1040 form. Line 6a should be from SSA-1099 box 5 and 1040 line 6b can be 0-85% of box 5.

Double check your entries. No more than 85% of your social security is taxable. If more than you entered is showing up, then it is likely that there is an error in your entries.

Not sure what "final page" you are referring to. People often get confused by the summary page. Look at your actual Form 1040. Social Security benefits entered are on lines 6a and 6b.
