Real estate taxes (home) includes the other party's share credited at closingSchA.5b
SchA.5b deducts the full bill (13,420). Buyer closing statement - 7709 Barton Ridge Dr (purchase 07/08/2025) shows a credit of 6,912 for the part of the year before the purchase; that share is the other party's tax. The value was read (ev-1027) but feeds no line. Deductible: 6,508. The total falls below the cap, so the federal deduction drops by the amount above the cap.

F540NR.61 shows 0, but its rule R-CA-AMT-NOT-COMPUTED says "The engine does not compute California AMT." Its input F6251.2i (Incentive stock options, 40,000) is not zero, so the figure is a placeholder, not a result; the engine's own warning on it stayed open in v1, v2, v3.
