You're VERY close. The total is $56,002. OK. THANKS. So, why doesn't the software make the same allowances and corresponding information on the Tax Table page under the Tax tab? To investigate further, I made a totally new case starting from scratch for a married couple filing MFJ. The income entries consist only of an IRA distribution in the amount of $126,599 which, minus the standard deduction leaves us with taxable income of $94,299 ($1 below the max 12% threshold). At this point, the percentages all look fine. However, there's a full $25 of income missing from the total income shown in the 12% bracket (71,075) which when added to the 10% bracket amount of $23,200, actually totals $92,275, $24, short of what should be there. And, THEN, when I add $1 to the IRA distribution, which takes the total taxable income to $94,300, $23,200 is shown in the 10% bracket and $71,100 is shown in the 15% bracket, AND another $25 comes out of nowhere and is thrown into the 22% bracket for a LISTED total of $94,325 when the software shows a total taxable income on that page of $94,300, and the SUMMARY page shows us in the 22% bracket when we've yet to enter it.
Clearly there seem to be some calculation issues at play here. What do you think?
THANK YOU!
