Why Doesn't ProSeries Tax Calculations Match with Ordinary Tax Rates

I have a return  with a mix of pension, social security, qualified dividends, interest, and capital gains.  No wages.  I was going through a final review and it showed a taxable income of $214,043.  Just for a double check I ran that amount through the ordinary 2020 tax brackets and I calculated a tax due of $33,271.   Proseries is calculating a tax due of $45,424. Of that amount, $41,819 shows up on Qualified Dividends & Capital Gain Tax Wksht, ln 22.  Ln 22 is populates from the "Tax Computation Wksht".  I don't know where this is so not sure what numbers are involved.

I know there is something simple I must be missing here?  I would have expected to total tax due to be less than the tax at ordinary rates or less than the $33,271 I calculated by hand.

Just curious, did you ever figure out what happened?
