My goof. That's what happens when you use a computer for several years - you don't track that sort of thing, you just trust the TurboTax folks to get it right.
I played with my computer return for last year to see what happens. Sure enough, I could increase my income by about $30 with no change to the tax, but another dollar put it over the line and raised the tax by $15.
