I get the Veterans property tax credit (line 34), therefore I cannot receive the $300 school property tax credit (line 16b part 2). TT insists in entering the school credit, so I overrode it and entered 0 on the form. I tried removing the the property taxes paid in the interview and only entering the veterans credit, but it auto-populated Line 16b part 1 & 2 when I did so. I also cannot override 16b part 1 in hopes that it wouldn't calculate the school credit.
Now TT won't efile because it gives me a warning that I shouldn't override. Despite saying, "You shouldn't," TT is making it an absolute when I decline to remove the override so that my taxes are correct. It just gets into a loop of warning me to change it. If I cancel the override, it gives me the $300 credit, which isn't right.
My only option is to change filing method and I'd really like to efile instead of sending in paper. I understand getting a warning. I do not understand it not letting me efile. I have already paid for the efile because it didn't tell me this until after I paid.
