It seems to say to use column A of line 17 if you you used column A of line 11. My line 11 is in column B because it is indirect.
Taxpayers itemizing deductions on Schedule A.
If you used the Line 11 Worksheet to figure the amount to include in column (a) of line 11, then include the amount from line 11 of the Line 11 Worksheet in column (a) of line 17; otherwise, do not enter an amount on line 17.
Basically none of this makes any sense and the fact that we have had to spend so much time figuring this out, is really absurd.
I think I'm just going to reduce the amounts I am claiming on line 11 and call it a day.
