TA's tax/fuel = A$647 (excluding service charge)

AA's amount also tallied with what was worked out by a TA on another travel forum.

Any idea how I could convince the TA to reconcile the figures with AA?

Unfortunately I can't cancel the itin and book with AA due to reasons cited above and also availability has gone down to L0 on some of the crucial segments.
Get a hard copy of AA's fare construction and show it to the TA?

Find out which segments are creating the extra fuel charges and amend the itinerary to work around them? Even if you have to reissue right after you take off, you might end up saving money overall.
