  1. Does the wife have wages or self employment profit?
  2. Do any W-2s show an amount in Box 10?
  3. Double check that you have the W-2s and self employment assigned to the correct spouse.

You don't need to keep asking.

This is not Customer Support or Tech Support. This is a discussion forum on the internet with peer users who voluntarily help, when and if they can. First, someone who knows your issue would need to see it. Second, everyone is a bit busy right now.

So, asking Intuit for help on the community isn't going to do much. Have patience. Or, do more research. Or, provide more info. For instance, did you confirm with the tax table manually, that you don't have any problem at all? Did you narrow it down to only that credit?

You need to put more info, when you are not getting help, because it likely has scant info for someone to help you. Here is that original topic:

"No response from original question."

I don't see where you answered here or in the original question.

It's a discussion; if you want help, you need to participate. This is not a keyword search. TaxGuyBill was nice enough to give you some prompts, because as I noted, the original question was a bit too vague to be able to help. Remember: no one can see what you are looking at. It helps to give details.

I thanked taxguybill for his kind response.

I did not ask for lessons from any forum cops. 

You should not butt-in. If you found my question vague, you could have let it go.

What you have the chance to do is to be part of the community. You have a topic that obviously created some anxiety. You were asked follow up questions and told the initial info is too vague to help. You never answered the follow ups, so that you could get more help.

If you resolved it on your own or because the follow up questions prompted you to resolve it, it would be great if you participate in the peer community by sharing here (or in the original topic) just what you realized or what you fixed that resolved the issue for you. That might be something that helps others looking for similar help.

Because that's what goes on here: peer users volunteering to be helpful.
