I am following the steps you lay out in option 2, because I need form 5049. I live in MI filing separately, and need this form to put my income with my spouses. when following your instructions, I get all the way to your point "homestead property tax credit click no", once I click no, it takes me back to the "take a look at Michigan credits and taxes page. It completely skips your last steps of "total household income required click continue, click done with credits and taxes, married filing separate click yes, enter the dates you lived together and click continue, prorate your income on Form 5049 and click continue". I know I need to fill in the 5049 portion with my wifes income, but it won't let me, and I know the system is not showing me the right pages because when my wife did her taxes, it had her fill in my information in hers. I have tried completely deleting EVERYTHING and starting over, but I still can not get these last sets of questions to pop up for me.
