Re: Regarding the federal worksheet in form 1040 that shows the tax computation: I have a client return from 2019 that shows a subtraction amount (column d). What is this?

Welcome to the Community!

Which tax computation worksheet are you looking at? There's no column d in these worksheets, AFAIK, assuming you're using ProConnect Tax (or even Lacerte). A bit more info and context will help.

it is Federal Worksheet Page 2, and the heading is Tax Computation Worksheet (Form 1040 or 1040-SR, Line 12a.

That's the worksheet on page 74 of the forms instructions: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf

It's not a calculated amount; it's literally the number printed in the instructions. It's the true-up to take graduated brackets into account.
