Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I did find an answer to why the credit was calculating at zero (Thanks Luis from Turbotax support).  It does have to do with AMT.   If your Regular Taxes Before Credits - Credits < Tentative Minimum Tax you get no credit. 

 

To verify the numbers visit "Federal" ->  "Other Tax Situations" -> Alternative Minimum Tax.  This will show you your Tentative Minimum Tax.

 

You can then visit Tax  Tools -> Review Tax Summary and Look at Tentative Tax - Total Credits and if that number is smaller than the Tentative Minimum Tax you get $0.00 credit.

 

If you switch to an itemized deduction you have a few (Charitable Donations, Sales Tax, and I think Mortgage Interest) deductions that get subtracted from Alternative Minimum Tax which might be enough to get you a credit.

 

Hope this helps others.
