Once this was corrected I got my full credit. The rest of you might want to check this. Here's a link explaining the problem:

Just a warning to be careful on how one interprets this error. Most self preparers won't have differences between their AMT loss carryover and their Regular tax loss carryover. If they are the same, line 16 will not be affected by a loss carryover.

I have been unable to locate the scheule of reductions to the tax credit. I bought my TCH on 4/6/2007 and am curious what the baseline credit I may or may not be getting is.

Thanks!
