State tax filing

The property tax credit is nonrefundable, meaning that it can only offset any tax you owe, and you can't get a refund of the credit amount. 

It's also possible that you don't qualify this year, or that you input information in TurboTax that makes the program believe that you don't qualify.

Please see Publication 108, Illinois Property Tax Credit for possible issues you may be encountering.
