I now spend more time at my house in SC than at my NJ house, so my primary home is in SC. However for state tax residency purposes both SC and NJ are domicile-based states. NJ always remains my domicile state, so for my NJ state return I must file as a NJ resident. However due to my primary home being in SC, I am not eligible for a NJ return property tax deduction for my NJ property taxes paid.
So for the TT Online question about eligibility for a NJ property tax deduction I answer "No", but TT still incorrectly applies a NJ property tax deduction, and takes the wrong column for other taxes paid in Schedule NJ-COJ form, for my NJ state return. How do I get TT to correctly recognize I'm not eligible for NJ property tax deduction?
