Incorrect income figure on government gateway (tax)

So for first time ever I used the government gateway thing.
I was going on to check about the WFH claim. But I saw tax for year stuff.

Somehow the government gateway are estimating I'm getting paid 10k over what I will get paid.

I'm also on an M1 tax code (which I think means tax is calced month by month)

Does this mean I've been paying too much tax? Should I bother correcting the figure? Or will this all work out naturally in April?

Probably leave it to correct unless you have some weird other income or situation.

Do you have healthcare, work car, or any other benefits? They can be quite a shock to your tax liabilities.

No nothing extra.
Also. Seems to be a double entry one month. As in I got paid twice according to hmrc portal.

Worth checking up on that, presuming it's not the latest month or two. I'd check with your payroll dept if you have one. Do you have access to digital pay slips?
