Professional tax preparation, particularly using Lacerte, is not a matter of "if I key in the numbers exactly as I see them, a correct tax return will magically pop out." You have to know what a correct tax return looks like, then do whatever input produces that. In some cases, keying in the numbers exactly as you see them does that. In this case, it does not, because there exists no place to key in the numbers exactly as you see them.

I tried asking you some questions to figure out what kind of return you're doing, and what you think a correct tax return would look like, so I could tell you where the put the numbers in, and yeah, not getting an answer is the worst.
