My understanding is that AmyC's response is incorrect. I have entered all numbers that meet the reasona blre criteria that she mentions. In fact, they were calculated based on the total tax, and hence any qualified income, foreign tax that I used is valid. I made sure that these were lesser than the "total" amounts that she suggested.
My conclusions is that TurboTax has a bug, ie., a false positive in terms of what it flags. I did not have the same issue this year, even though I did the same process (and double checked for errors just like last time). I think they will never acknowledge the bug or even contact me, but I hope this helps the others facing the same bug. They just want these comunities to be self-serve so they don't have to spend resournces on it.
