Deductions & credits

I'm sorry to have taken so long to get back to you - I've been sick.

I backed up my daughter's previous TurboTax files and started over with a fresh return.  I filled it out with her most recent W2 and told TurboTax that I filed it by mail (as with the original).  I then amended the new return by adding the older W2 ...

The same problem occurs - the State Earned Income Credit is calculated correctly.  TurboTax calculates the original and amended Local EIC correctly, but leaves the Net Change and Corrected Amount boxes blank.  If I manually change the original box, the value is copied to Net Change with a minus sign and there is still nothing in the Corrected Amount.  TT correctly flags this as an error, but it is impossible to correct.

I suppose I could print the return, whiteout the errors and write the corrections in, but should be unnecessary.
