here is what i found out after being on the phone with Pro Series tech support. taxpayer had a negative adjusted gross income because of a large NOL. the amount in line 11 was exactly 60% of the amount of adjusted gross income but was a positive number. go figure. pro series said that was the correct calculation, made no sense to me since taxpayer had no contributions from any source( k1s etc.) so just overrode the field and moved on.
