something doesnt add up vs something here doesnt add up

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. "Something doesn't add up" is a common expression used to indicate that a situation or explanation is not logical or consistent. On the other hand, "Something here doesn't add up" adds emphasis by specifying that the inconsistency is specifically in the current situation or context.
