@IntuitAustin Could you please help look into this since I don't have 2019 Lacerte installed yet?  But I can confirm that this is working fine with PTO.  Thanks!

@jerry PTO shares the same tax logic with Lacerte.  It is unusual that this is a problem in Lacerte when it works fine in PTO.  Hopefully, Austin will give you an update soon.  To change the default settings, click on the menu bar for Settings > Options, click on the "Tax Return" tab of the popup, then scroll down or select "Federal Tax Options" under Section on the left.
