Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet: Calculating Correctly?

Anyone else having concerns over how this worksheet is calculating stimulus payments?  I have a married couple, no dependents, with an AGI of $188,846.  No bueno on the second round, but they should have received a stimulus check for the first round last March, but never did, so I am now trying to claim it.

This is what I have:

Line 12:  150,000

Line 13:  38,846

Line 14:  1,942

Line 15:  458

Line 16:  0

Line 17:  458

Line 20: 0

This is all good and correct; taxpayer should have received a $458 credit last spring, but never did, so they should receive it now.  And, in fact, Line 21 says it is just an addition of Line 17 and Line 20.  But Line 21 shows nothing.  So there is no credit applied.

What am I missing here?

Thank you, that did the trick. Line 19 was blank, and there was no error message prompting me to enter a value.  I assumed that, because their AGI was too high for the second stimulus payment, that the program automatically assumed it was 0, but I did need to enter the 0.

Now the $458 credit appears.

This is a minor bug in the program.  Not sure why, before I do anything with this worksheet, an empty Line 16 triggers an error alert, but an empty Line 19 does not.  If I need to enter a value into Line 19, then an error alert should appear until I enter a value there.

Nevertheless, thank you!

I think I noticed that early in the season, Ive made the crypto box and the RRC worksheet the first 2 things I fill in when I start working on a return.
