Hmmn, I agree that this is not obvious.
So your IRA deduction is appearing on line 19 of Schedule 1 (1040)? And there is nothing on line 15 of the same schedule?
On your Schedule SE, did you use the short-form or the long-form?
Do any of the following apply to you?
- You had more than one source of income subject to self-employment tax.
- You file Form 2555.
- You are using amounts paid for qualified long-term care insurance to figure the deduction.
I am reading the instructions for line 16 in the Schedule 1 instructions.
