A client wage 65000 over time 16929. I entered 16929 on part VII 14c calculated deduction was $5643. Yet 14e shows 0. Nothing carried over to part III schedule 1-A. This is the first time it happened. I can't figure out why?  Could it be that he filed married file separately? I know the limit for the deduction $12500.

That is your problem.  MFS filers do not qualify.

Sch 1-A, Part III..... read the caution part.  MFS means no deduciton.

Married filing separate people were the big losers in OBBB.  They get a whole lotta nothin'
