Schedule 3, Additional Credits and Payments is automatically generated by TurboTax as part of the 1040 if you have any of a number of credits or other payment or refundable credits. If you have one of these items, then the IRS requires the form. Items on Schedule 3 include: Credit for child and dependent care expenses. Education credits.
Line 12e is a manual entry. Without looking at your return, we can't tell what belongs on that line. Take a look at your 1040 and see if you have any nonrefundable credits. Here's how to take a look:
- While your return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS.
- Then at the Tools screen click on View Tax Summary
- At the Tax Summary screen go back to the left menu column and click Preview My 1040
- Scroll down to the schedules below it and find Schedule 3
