Taxable Social Security worksheet error

[MartinF]

I think there may be an error on the 1040 line 6a worksheet. Line 7 of the worksheet is supposed to display the amounts from form Schedule 1, lines 11 through 20, and lines 23 and 25. I am doing a return for an educator that has educator expenses on line 11 of the Sch 1 of $300. The amount is showing correctly on the Sch 1, but displays as $250 on line 7 of the 1040 line 6a worksheet. The social security recipient is the taxpayer and the educator expenses are for the spouse. Does anyone know of a ruling that limits the calculation for this specific instance or is it just a worksheet bug? Thanks for any advice.

I don't see anything in the IRS instructions for the Social Security benefits worksheet or in any announcements regarding the increase to the educator expense deduction.  I think you found a bug.

Good catch too!  This could potentially affect other Sch 1 adjustments that have a limit that has adjusted, like the HSA deduction.  It doesn't come up a lot, but worth watching.

@IntuitDebH  might be able to help draw this to the attention of those who can fix it?

Highlight the return and use Ctrl+L to contact support. You can attach a copy of the return for them to do the diagnosis. This is the quickest and easiest way to get their attention. No hold time on the phone!!!!
