In the 2018 Individual module, on Schedule 1 I have an adjustment to income amount on line 36; where does this show up on page 2 of the 1040?

Where does line 36 on schedule 1 flow to page 2 of the 1040?

I actually found the answer.  The program adds line 36 to line 6 on pg 2 of the 1040.  It is not clear, but that is what the program does.  The explanation is next to line 7 on pg 2 of the 1040.

It does not appear that it shows up at all. Edit: the draft 1040 Sch 1 does not tell you what to do with it either.

I remember the bridge to nowhere and now Lacerte has an entry to nowhere.  It's going to be a long tax season.

Everybody around here was saying I was a fool for not semi-retiring before the new tax laws came in to effect this year. I am beginning to believe them.

Yeah....I'm getting the same comments.  And I'm starting to think I should be listening.

I never back away from a challenge.  Of course I am going to lock up all of my guns, knifes, explosives, scissors, and sharp pencils before January ------------------ you can't be too safe.

Unbelievable, there it is. Why did they have to mess with what we had before that we kinda understood??

I don't do Lacerte, but if it was me, I would enter a big number on the schedule so it's easy to track as to where it pops up on the 1040.

It really isn't Lacerte.Wait until you see the wonderful world of the 2018 Form 1040. UGH!
