Deductions & credits

I was in the same endless loop, until I read this thread.

Interesting that your reply provides additional requirement that it does not say on the form- you say :

  1. On the page Property taxes, enter the portion, if any, that was not for your principal residence in Illinois. Then enter the total of any property taxes that were deductible on your federal return AS A BUSINESS EXPENSE FOR A BUSINESS, RENTAL, OR FARM, WHETHER OR NOT YOU ACTUALLY TOOK THE DEDUCTION.  I entered $0 for both boxes. 

And the form simply states "Enter the total property tax you paid in 2023 and the amount of property tax paid that was not on your principal residence."

 

THIS IS THE PROBLEM! The form is misleading with an incomplete explanation for what scenario to reply.

I can now exit my endless loop.
