Aug 13, 2018 at 15:25 comment added Frank Hubeny @DanChristensen Line 2 is an assumption starting a subproof. I will have to discharge that assumption (end the subproof) before I finish. That subproof ends with a contradiction on line 9 which allows me to discharge the assumption (close the subproof) with an indirect proof (IP). That step on line 10 is also the desired conclusion and so the proof completes. Line 2 is not coming from a definition of the conditional statement in line 1, but from negating the conclusion.

Aug 3, 2018 at 8:37 comment added Frank Hubeny @MauroALLEGRANZA Thank you. I don't think this particular proof checker's rules will allow me to proceed in that manner, but I can see that the result is the same.
Aug 3, 2018 at 8:25 comment added Mauro ALLEGRANZA Tomassi's system has no ⊥ symbol and thus neither (⊥I) rule. But your proof is easily "adapted" to the system. Replace step 6 with (∧I) to get ¬(P∧¬Q) ∧ (P∧¬Q) and then use RAA to get ¬¬Q from 4 and 6. Then derive Q with DNE (Double Negation Elim). The same for steps 9-10. In this way, the total number of steps are 12, as required by the OP.
