You would think they would make that clear but when you trace the source of line 12, they point you to Schedule A bottom line which shows the wrong figure. I have itemized a "Qualified Disaster Loss" so not clear at all as they take the loss part along w/ the standard deduction! This year's TT is horrible - seems to be getting worse each year! I could not enter foreign income at all and had to do it via forms not step-by-step! And why do some windows scroll and others not when they both have scrollable widgets? Lots of redundant questions and lack of pulling info from last year's form as well.
