Deductions & credits

Well, this is weird.  I went back to try and recover the original bogus numbers so I could say exactly what was where.  I deleted the worksheet and started over with the info from my 1098.  And this time ... it seems the numbers came out as I expected.  I didn't enter anything differently AFAIK.  

 

So, I appreciate the people who responded and tried to probe to see what went wrong.  I wish I could explain.  (Note, I'm not a financial sort, but I'm a PhD computer scientist -- I think I can enter numbers into a form, most of the time!!)
