Schedule A does not have a line 1b. It has to be one of the sub-forms. Can you take a screenshot of the form and the question being asked?
Thank you. No, my description was inaccurate, you were right.
I ended up getting a technician to help me delete the problem.
The problem was triggered by my inputting info on my 1099R (per instructions) "amount paid for medicare." Since I didn't qualify to enter my own deductions, the entry became problematic.
The technician was patient, helpful and kind, I will use that feature in the future if needed.
