Deductions & credits

A common situation where that happens is when the program is using the Iterative calculation for the PTC and SEHI deduction, but the calculation does not quite work out smoothly.

 

The program further can get jammed up if the Iterative calculation is jumps back and forth between the 400% Poverty Level threshold (although this year that threshold is softer).

 

My first suggestion is to enter an amount for a Traditional IRA (assuming it is deductible, or if you already have that maxxed out, try reducing the amount you entered).  Then see if numbers work better (and you may need to try a few different amounts of Traditional IRA contributions).

 

If the IRA contributions suddenly make the numbers make sense, then the 'problem' is what I had mentioned at the beginning, and there won't be a 'fix' (other than you making a Traditional IRA contribution or manually calculating things and overriding the software).
