Serious - Bad Calculation on Charitable Deduction Limits Worksheet for Current Years Deductions 2021

It appears that Charity Limit Form (Charitable Deduction Limits Worksheet for Current Years Deduction line 39 is using data from cells other than those it lists.  Ln 39 says to add 10,14,21,27 and 36.  In my case all of them are zero (0) except 14 which is 272.  I would expect 39 to be 272.  Instead it is 134,892.  As a result my carryover is incorrect.

 

Also, line 43 says to enter the amount from line 41 on the Schedule A line 11 dotted line to the left.  The number in 43 is not the number on the dotted line to the left of Schedule A Line 11.

 

This is serious as the IRS computer will reduce Charitable deductions if the number on the dotted line is incorrect.
