Form 1116 line 18 not calculating correctly, failing to minus 1040 line 14 as it indicated on the form.

Best answer by rogge1722

In my case, the line 18 is bigger than my taxable income on form 1040, line 15. It is because line 18 did not minus schedule 1-A, line 37 (enhanced deduction for seniors).

For line 18 of form 1116, the formula from the 1040 is (line 11b - line 14) + (schedule 1-A, line 37).
