With due respect, Form 8615 line 10 asks for the tax from 1040 line 16 of parents' form, which is what I used. Line 9 is a tax calculated from tax tables per 8615 instructions based on the calculations above it. The form does not ask you to calculate the tax for line 9.
The value on my 8615 line 9 is currently 1473.
As to TT calculating the line 10 amount for me, it is blank on the form! The parent income is set at zero.
Is this correct, am I am not using TT correctly or does TT have a problem? Obviously, I would prefer it to be correct.
