ERROR SC1040 Line 15 is not calculating correctly

Example Line 14 is 5000 but line 10 is 4800.  Line 15 should read 2000 owed not zero.

How can this be fixed?  It is showing up as nothing owe which is incorrect.

Thanks

    You're doing that backwards.  (head slap?)

     

    You take box 10 and subtract box 14

     

    Thus 4800 - 5000 = Negative 200

     

    And for negative numbers, box 15 is limited to a zero.
