get a load of this.. all these "schedules " make it more confusing. the old 1040 made sense.. logical and things flowed and there were backup forms or schedules.. in 2018 there is Schedule 1, add't income and adjustments to income.. the adjustments to income.. the part where SE deduction, educator expenses, and more go.. well say that section totals $ 1,000.. it does not carry anywhere. just gets blurred into page 2 of 1040 on line 7.. a good trail would show the deduction, then do the math
