I would say that the Form 8903 that isn't available till 3/31 was the "old" way of reporting DPAD.

Going thru the smart worksheets below the Schedule F will flow thru till you get a 8995 Sch C and then a Schedule D for Patron to report the deduction on the 1040 level and avoid using the Form 8903 completely.

Is that  how you see it?
