Eye remember seeing similar numbers to what Eye’m seeing, now, last year BEFORE that extra credit was applied.  

 

So, after checking the lines you suggested, Eye figured out that even though Eye meet the income requirements - Eye don’t.   Why?  Eye’m self employed.  

This is one of the many times Eye would LOVE to be wrong - PLEASE.  Tell me Eye’m wrong…. please?
