Amounts in parens are negative. (It's an old accounting convention.)
If you've already taken her exemption, then either enter -0- in line 42, or just leave it blank. (It says to multiple the number of boxes checked on line 6 by the personal exemption amount. Anything times 0 is 0.)
Starting with line 43, they say specifically to enter -0- if the result is less than 0.
Sounds like you're almost done!
Cheers,
