Filling out Form 4684 for casualty and theft in ProConnect Tax

In ProConnect Tax, when filling out Form 4684:

• Line 26 says to enter the lesser of line 20 or line 25.
• But, line 26 won't print the amount from line 20, even if it's larger than the amount on line 25 if the property was totally destroyed by casualty or theft.
• If you leave blank the field Fair market value after casualty or theft, or enter a 0, the program assumes that the property was totally destroyed, and prints the amount from line 20 on line 26.

How to force ProConnect Tax to print the right number
