Thanks, I figured it out after talking to the turbo tax expert for quite while. She was stumped. Finally I deleted the zero for some reason I had put in the unlike kind line in the smart worksheet above and like magic the error messages all went away. The program doesn't recognize 0 as none. I thought I had tried that before and actually put a 0 there to try to get rid of the error messages, but anyway problem is solved. I have another questions about the 8824 I will post separately, maybe you can help me with that. This year is rather difficult for me.
