I did the "OTHER REPORTABLE INCOME" negative amount, but weirdly, this generates a negative amount on line 8 of the 1040.
- The ORIGINAL amount of the 1099-R is included in 1040 5a
- But because it is designated as non-taxable, it doesn't transfer to 5b
If schedule C's Housing Allowance amount is left BLANK, then the amount doesn't translate into the program as a SE eligible.
- This may be the best answer/method at this point.
- The Designated Housing Allowance arises from the Pension, NOT from the Schedule C income activities.
The INPUT A NEGATIVE, doesn't seem right, as it generates a large negative. More credits would be nice, but not unallowable ones.
Willing to consider alternatives.
