Question
Form 8615 Sch D tax calculation worksheet does not compute the properly when under the 89250 limit. Anything over the limit, it works just fine.
Form 8615 line 9 uses the Schedule D tax calculation worksheet to calculate the combined family tax using the parent's filing status. When you are under the $89,250 limit lines 44 and 45 do not fill in properly with 0's. They just stay blank. I can not override it if I want to file electronically. It then calculates a large tax liability. If you are over limit at 89,251 it works as expected and automatically fills in the tax amount at a much lower amount. The difference is $6000 dollars plus on the child's return that I am preparing.
