Hello again NC person. Thanks for the reply. Mom's income/deduction figures are much different from the ones used in your reply to me. I have been through the Wages and Income/Deductions and Credits sections of my desktop Turbo Tax Deluxe program three times so far. Thanks for offering to do it again using the real numbers, but I don't believe that's necessary. I have used TT for the last 3 years to do mom's taxes; her income and deductions have remained relatively the same; the only difference that I can see in this year's taxes, is the elimination of the "personal exemption" ($4,050), which TT showed me at the conclusion of the Deductions and Credit sections. Thanks again for your efforts and suggestions.
