This has been reported many times, the website includes somethings that are taxes (such as Fed Excise Tax) in the Fare portion and then in receipt moves it to taxes. In general neither of the summary reports are reliable and you need to specifically look at the fare breakdown is easily seen in the receipt.
Post the fare breakout (not the simple summaries) and this can be easily explained.
