Deductions & credits

DON'T enter more than the 2 amounts totaled together  ... figure out a way to enter the exact amount totaled between you.  If you are off by as little  as that $1 then your return could be stopped and be in "review" for MONTHS and months.   AGAIN the form 8812 has ONE line for the combined total of both your 6419 letters ... the fact that the program auto rounds is simply a problem that can be overcome by using some common sense.
