Deductions & credits

Thank you.  No, my description was inaccurate, you were right. 

I ended up getting a technician to help me delete the problem.

The problem was triggered by my inputting info on my 1099R (per instructions)  "amount paid for medicare."   Since I didn't qualify to enter my own deductions, the entry became problematic.  

The technician was patient, helpful and kind, I will use that feature in the future if needed.
