The problem is you paid too much attention to that alphabet on the wall in
kindergarten. Had you started with Schedule D you'd have seen that this is
all dealt with there, which would mean you'd never have gotten to Schedule
A, which would mean you'd never have gotten confused trying to find
something on Schedule A that isn't there.
Assuming you paid appropriate attention in arithmetic, you'll see that the
bottom line is zero.
