Question: "Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet -- line 12a" 1040 2019
2019 was not a good year and my taxable income(1040 line 11b) is 00.

I had dividend and LTCG income so Schedule D sends me to this worksheet: Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains (page 33, 1040 instructions).

I had expected to pay no federal tax, but am getting hung up on question #24 on this Worksheet.

24. Figure the tax on the amount on line 7.
If the amount on line 7 is less than 0,000, use the Tax Table to figure the tax.
If the amount on line 7 is 0,000 or more, use the Tax Computation Worksheet

In my case, line 7 is [CO]. But if I follow these directions to Tax Table and use 00 (line 11b), I do have a tax to pay, which flows to end of this form.

Have I interpreted line #24 correctly?

Thanks.
