Regarding the federal worksheet in form 1040 that shows the tax computation: I have a client return from 2019 that shows a subtraction amount (column d). What is this?

That's the worksheet on page 74 of the forms instructions: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf

It's not a calculated amount; it's literally the number printed in the instructions. It's the true-up to take graduated brackets into account.

Welcome to the Community!

Which tax computation worksheet are you looking at?  There's no column d in these worksheets, AFAIK, assuming you're using ProConnect Tax (or even Lacerte).  A bit more info and context will help.
