I am a Michigan resident and pay $1250 a month for my rented apartment. Where can I add this payment? I remember TurboTax asked me to input it last year but not now!

You are asking about the Michigan homestead property tax credit.

You'll get this credit if you meet the following criteria:

-You own or rent a home, condo, or apartment
-Your home value is less than $135,000
-Your income level is $60,000 or less
-You're a Michigan resident

When you get to the screen in the Michigan interview that is headed "Take a look at Michigan Credits and Taxes". Scroll down to the subheading "Personal, Home, and Family Credits" and click Start on the line for Homestead Property Tax Credit. TurboTax will ask a series of questions to establish your eligibility for the credit.
