Issues with 8839 - Adoption Credit?

Jane_C
Level 2

Line 5 of the 8839 (Adoption Credit), is pulled from the 8893 Worksheet.   We have completed the worksheet, but line 5 does not populate.    Any thoughts?  

NOTE:  Line 5 of 8839 seems to be pointing to 8b on the worksheet.   If we put a number in there, THAT is what populates)  (Qualified adoption credits PAID IN PRIOR YEAR for one of the following:  Failed adoption attempt, an adoption that was not final in 2023, a foreign adoption that was final in 2024, including prior year expenses.     For our client, that is $0.    But if I put 999 in that field, THAT is what populates on Line 5 of 8839.      

This seems like a programming error but before I report it as such, does anyone have any tips on this form?

I don't see a problem. I completed only Lines 1-7 and the expenses transferred to 8839. 

Line 8b is blank.
