NO!!!!! The "negative number" shown in TurboTax is IN FACT SUBRACTED from all the other deductions resulting a SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER deduction, reduced by the "negative number" amount. IF . . . the amount was just "0" (zero) my deduction would INCREASE by $12,000 saving me $4000+ in taxes. THIS TOTALLY APPEARS TO BE A "BUG" in TurboTax and how it is calculating that. You can just "do the math" with the other deductions and its apparent the "negative number" is SUBRACTED from the other "positive deduction" amounts resulting in DRAMATICALLY lower deduction amount.?????
