SCHEDULE 1-A  PART IV LINE 26 IS PULLING THE WRONG NUMBER.

The phase out starts at $200,000 and goes to $300,000

My client AGI is $214,166 but the program has phased out the amount completely to not allow any deduction. Please help, Support was not helpful

I am not getting a deduction at all.  Not sure what I am doing wrong but the vehicle is a Buick final assembly in Michigan.  its not telling me the vin is invalid.  Is there a box to check on another sheet that I am missing?

I had one that did that to me the other day, I was misreading a 5 for an S or vice versa.  Did you plug it into the VIN decoder website and it shows as valid?

The phase out for MFJ is $200,000 and goes to $250,000 (not $300,000).

 

Does the taxpayer have $3000 or LESS of vehicle loan interest?  If so, it seems to be doing it correctly.  If they had more than $3000 of interest, then something seems off.
