Well. This is also a caveat from calc, unfortunately.
7.7.2 Grouping Digits
Please note that grouped numbers will not generally be parsed
correctly if re-read in textual form, say by the use of ‘C-x * y’ and
‘C-x * g’. (*Note Kill and Yank::, for details on these commands.) One
exception is the ‘\,’ separator, which doesn’t interfere with parsing
because it is ignored by TeX language mode.
So, you can instead do
| Description | Amount |
|--------------+-------------|
| Mortage | 125\,000.26 |
| Credit Cards | 6\,325.00 |
| Auto Loan | 14\,853.00 |
|--------------+-------------|
| Total | 146178.26 |
#+TBLFM: @5$2=vsum(@I..@II)
Or with
#+begin_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-calc-default-modes
'( calc-internal-prec 12
calc-float-format (float 8)
calc-angle-mode deg
calc-prefer-frac nil
calc-symbolic-mode nil
calc-language latex ;; <--- this is new compared to default, enable
latex symbols
calc-group-digits t ;; <--- group digits in the results
calc-group-char "\\,"
calc-date-format (YYYY "-" MM "-" DD " " Www (" " hh ":" mm))
calc-display-working-message t))
#+end_SRC
| Description | Amount |
|--------------+-------------|
| Mortage | 125\,000.26 |
| Credit Cards | 6\,325.00 |
| Auto Loan | 14\,853.00 |
|--------------+-------------|
| Total | 146\,178.26 |

You need
| Description | Amount |
|--------------+----------------------------|
| Mortage | \dollar 125000.26 |
| Credit Cards | \dollar 6325.00 |
| Auto Loan | \dollar 14853.00 |
|--------------+----------------------------|
| Total | 146178.26 \dollar |
#+TBLFM: @5$2=vsum(@I..@II)
Best,
