Deductions & credits

@Opus 17   Ok, that's interesting it worked for you.  Are you also NOT claiming the child as a dependent.  That seems to be the problem, along with MFS.  I am not claiming the child as a dependent.

I'll try again tomorrow, although I'm not optimistic mainly because I've gone through every possible iteration today.

I've already checked box 18b and filled in spouse's income, so that's not the issue.  I've gone through the child worksheet, from which numbers translate to the 2441, but no help.  I suppose I could delete the worksheet and go through the interview, but I'm not optimistic.  I can go through the W2 interview again and see if that's useful.  I hate to delete the W2 because it's a lot of info to reenter.  I've gone through the W2 (and worksheet if there is one) in forms view to make sure all the info is correct. 

I'll check back tomorrow if no progress.  Again, I'm not optimistic only because I've already tried just about every possible variation I could think of.  This shouldn't be this difficult.
