okay   as i looked further,   I noticed that the amount does not show up on Schedule A ,

but when I looked at form 1040 under standard deduction, I noticed that it automatically added it there!

Since, it is not on Schedule A with the words that IRS says to put on line 16 of Schedule A,  I hope that they will see why my figure is different.

Thanks for your help!   In your program, is it showing up on Schedule A also?
