I've submitted for both my children the Michigan tax and claimed the MI homestead property. I received a letter from Michigan Department of State that the claim was denied, and my children where only paid back few dollars of return and not the credit. I support more than 50% of their expenses, but I have my kids work and pay their rent. This is very frustrating that Turbotax doesn't recognize this as a problem and does not let you know that this is wrong, if it is wrong. Or is frustrating that Michigan does not recognize that children can still work and get paid enough to cover for their rent. And they should be reimbursed the credit.
FYI I am now filling a worksheet for determining support form 4622. Maybe this will help or who knows, now my kids will have to pay taxes on the money I provided them for tuition and food and clothing.
The story continues.
