Deductions & credits

It looks like AGI isn't a problem, based on that table (and this tracks with what I had looked up previously) our multiplier is 0.2

 

The instructions for previewing the form were very helpful so I was able to pull our form 2441 from that. The issue seems to be in Part III:

 

Line 27: $8,000

Line 28: $10,000 (from the FSA)

Line 29:  $-2,000 (subtract line 28 from line 27)

 

if line 29 < 0 then presumably we don't qualify for the credit because we already had more than $8,000 in in benefits.

 

Although I am still not convinced that this is filled out correctly and it seems needlessly confusing. Does it make sense to you?
