"what if line 13 on my tax form is blank ? "

Then you subtract zero, if that is what the instructions call for.

Please advise as there is still confusion surrounding question 85 on the FAFSA.

If there is 0/zero on 1040 line 13 and no schedule 2-line 46 what is to be entered ?

Is 0/zero to be entered?

The following is provided by fafsa.ed.gov none of which answer the issue of having nothing on line 13 and no schedule 2-line 46:

Parents’ 2018 U.S. Income Tax Paid

This is question 85 on the FAFSA.

The response indicates the amount of U.S. income tax paid as reported on the student’s parents’ 2018 income tax return. If the total is a negative amount, the amount reported should be zero (0).

If the student’s parents are “married/remarried” and filed a joint tax return, or are single, use the total of IRS Form 1040 line 13, minus line 46 of Schedule 2 and enter the amount.

If the parents filed separate tax returns, subtract line 46 of Schedule 2 from line 13 of IRS Form 1040 from both tax returns and enter the total amount.

If one or both parents will file a federal tax return, but have not yet filed, subtract line 46 of Schedule 2 from line 13 of IRS Form 1040 from both tax returns to estimate the amount.

The Parent Taxes Paid Calculator can be used to estimate the total taxes paid if a 2018 tax form will be filed, but has not yet been completed.

If the student is Dependent, the response cannot be blank unless the student’s parents will not file a tax return.

Line 46 is the excess premium tax credit repayment. If there was not an amount for that, then schedule 2 would likely not be included with the tax return.

The total of schedule 2 would be included in the amount on line 11 of form 1040. You might see the tax amount on line 11(a), and if line 11 is the same amount, then there would be nothing on line 46 of schedule 2.

More than likely, there is no entry on line 46 of your return, so you would enter the amount on line 13, which appears to be -0- in your case.

This was extremely helpful! It solved a massive headache I had looking for schedule 2 in mine and my parent's tax returns. Haha!

Mine is blank too and I don't have a Schedule 2, so I guess $0 is fine? It bothers me because when I check my SAR, it shows up as with an "h" and next to it, it says,"$0 ASSUMED".

Hey. I need help please. The total amount of IRS Form 1040-line 13 is 0, and Schedule 2-line 46 is 600, so what will be the amount of my parents' income tax for 2018?

Is it 600 or 0?

Line 15 on your 2018 form 1040 would be your total income tax.

Thanks a lot for your answer. Again, are you sure, I will just type the amour of line 15 from 1040? Or I need to subtract line 13 of form1040 from Schedule 2 (line 46)?

tonni26 · ‎March 29, 2020

Because if I enter the amount of your income tax for 2018. This is the total amount of IRS Form 1040-line 13 minus Schedule 2-line 46, then the amount doesn't come same which is in the line 15 of form 1040!

JohnB5677 · ‎March 30, 2020

Line 15 is the sum of

Line 11 is tax on income plus Schedule 2
Line 13 is line 11 less tax credits line 12
Line 14 Is other taxes from Schedule 4
Line 15 is Total Tax, Line 14 plus 13

Is this consistent with what you see?
