Deductions & credits

By any chance are you married ?  And you each have an amount with 50 cents on the letters like 300.50 & 300.50 then be smarter than the program and enter  300 and 301   or simply enter 601 on one and zero on the other person.  Since the IRS only gets the combined total on the form 8812 how you get to the correct amount is immaterial.
