Check your data entries ----especially the entries from your W-2 boxes 16 and 17. Look for misplaced decimals and extra zeros.

A common cause of this that the information from the actual W-2 has been entered or imported into the wrong boxes. Double check the W-2 that's been entered in TurboTax. Make sure your income is shown in box 16 and the tax withholding is shown in box 17.
