Form 5049 my husband and I did live together all year, but wants explanation we maintained seperate homesteads?? How do I fix this error?

I live in Michigan,  we do file separate.  I have gone back through state retur.  I find no spot that asked if we lived together.  On my federal return it did ask that and I stated we did love together.

In the MI interview follow these steps:

1.  Click "Edit" for "Credits and Taxes"

2.  "Revisit" Homestead Property Credit" 

3.  Click  "Yes" for "Household resources"

4.  Click "Yes" for "Do you meet the qualifications?"

5.  Continue to answer and select appropriate boxes

6.  When you come to page titled "Homestead Property Tax Credit"  It asks "Did you live on separate properties?" Answer "NO"

If you are not eligible for the credit and it is giving you a hard time, I would delete the form.

I too reside in MI, married filing separately. The system is not working right. I have done all the steps you say to fix the problem, answered all questions correctly. Can someone PLEASE pretend to be us and run through it to see the system has a glitch? I am very disappointed and may have to use another product if this not fixed.
