Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@dmertz in your previous post you said " Form 1040 line 13 cannot be reduced below zero".  Line 13 on my form is "qualified business deduction" I assume you mean line 24 "total tax" and for me this is $1812.  And line 16 "tax" is $2298 before a foreign tax credit.

 

So clearly I had a tax liability and I should have got the credit.  Again here is the reason turbo tax provided for not getting the credit:

 

Why don't I qualify for the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit?

After applying all your other credits and deductions, it looks like you don't owe any taxes this year. That's great news, but it also means you're not eligible for the credit this year.
