Can't say which is accurate without all details, but if you did not include 1099 income not subject to SE tax that is incorrect. From pub 517 "

Earned income. 

Earned income includes your:

  1. Wages, salaries, tips, and other taxable employee compensation (even if these amounts are exempt from FICA or SECA under an approved Form 4029 or 4361); and

  2. Net earnings from self-employment that are not exempt from SECA (you don't have an approved Form 4029 or 4361) that you report on Schedule SE (Form 1040), line 3, with the following adjustments.

    1. Subtract the amount you claimed (or should have claimed) on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 14, for the deductible part of your SE tax.

    2. Add any amount from Schedule SE (Form 1040), line 4b and line 5a.
