Deductions & credits

@DoninGA   Yes, my answer to 2 was yes.  3 and 4 were skipped and have no/null answers.  TT ignored the limits and said I have $775 coming.  The IRS says no!  I received no stimulus and entered so.  The IRS is disallowing this credit.

 

I'm assuming line 8 was the problem and should be 0 instead of $1200.  If I reduce one of the lines by $1200 I would get a 0.

8 Enter: @ $600 if single, head of household, married filing separately, qualifying
widow(er), or if married filing jointly and you answered "Yes" to question 4, or
@ $1,200 if married filing jointly and you answered "Yes" to question 2 or 3 8

 

All other calculators I looked at don't have a similar entry such as line 8.  Line 5 is set to $2400.

 

Too many people have the same problem.
