Deductions & credits

thanks!  got it to work.  so basically I need to override the TT calculation by figuring it out correctly myself (step 27).

 

Note: using a Mac version of TT Deluxe on a newer M1 chip, the "help me" link (step 26) causes TT to crash every single time.

 

Another note: why isn't TT programmed to create a dialogue when it knows you have sold a house (and/or re-financed)?

 

Last observation: Pub 936 is why everyone hates the IRS. It is indecipherable!
