I'm sorry, I'm not following the numbers.

Why did you use 32%. Is that the marginal tax rate?
Where did the 18,863.50 come from?
Were the qualified dividends included in the taxable income?

Also check Schedule 2. Did you have

Alternative Minimum Tax
Self Employment tax
Additional tax on IRAs
Form 8959 Additional Medicare tax
Form 8960 Surtax on excess investment income

thanks for your reply. I found the problem; I needed to use schedule D worksheet to calculate taxable income.
