Deductions & credits

Another thing that led to the confusion----this thread is old.   When you see a 2019 date in some of these threads ---they can really be much older---and this one is old.   When the user forum changed from Answer Xchange to Real Money Talk in mid-2019, a bunch of old threads migrated over with 2019 dates.   But the information in that reply above has to be much older---from before the tax law changes that occurred for 2018 and beyond.
