Deductions & credits

Yes, but it isn't very straightforward.  I basically only have numbers for lines 1-9.  Here are some random numbers to see if I am thinking correctly. 

 

Let's say my AIG is $2,800.  Line 1 is AIG minus standard deduction.  So $2800 minus $24,800 so -$22,000.  Is that correct thinking?

 

I have nothing for lines 2-5.  Then line 6 is non-business deductions.  Am I supposed to input the standard deduction value here too?  That's what it seems by the worksheet. 

 

Then line 7 is nonbusiness income.  Let's say $12,800 for that.  Line 8 is lines 5+7 so it is also $12,800.

 

Line 9 is the difference between lines 6 and 8 so that is $12,000.

 

Nothing for lines 10-23.

 

Line 24 combines line 1, 9,17, 21-23 for total NOL.  Line 1 (-$22,000) plus line 9 ($12,000) equals $10,000 for my NOL.  Is that correct?  It isn't very clear, and that number doesn't really make much logical sense.  Any input would be great.
