Regarding Line 14, you may not be doing your hand calculation correctly. If you have qualified dividends and capital gains, here's a simplified example. The instructions for 2210 have a Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet, which is a modified version of the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet used for your 1040. Assume you're filing single and Schedule AI Line 13a is $50,000, which includes $1,000 of qualified dividends. The $1,000 was entered in the program as $250 for 1/1 - 3/31. Look up $49,000 in the tax tables ($6,634 tax) and add 15% x $1,000 ($150) for a total tax of $6,784. Assume Schedule AI Line 13b is $52,000, which includes $2,400 of qualified dividends. The $2,400 was entered as $1000 for 1/1 - 5/31. Look up $49,600 in the tax tables ($6,655 tax) and add 15% x $2,400 ($360) for a total tax of $7,015.
