Blatant calculation errors

Bug in tuition transfer.   I am trying to transfer the maximum $5K from my daughter to either myself or my wife.  If I transfer it to my wife she gets something like $1K more in a refund.   If I transfer to myself, I pay $8 more in taxes.This is obviously wrong.  I can see on Schedule 1 there is a blatant bug where my "Total federal tax" is 2,301.21 my political, labor stuff is all zero, and my total federal tax (the above number, minus zero) is $3,032.79.   After 15 years of using this software, this year has let me down.   I don't trust it at all.  Image attached.  Line 45 on my return is zero; that is not the problem.
