What's your question? What State do you live in?

Michigan

@staylor76 Michigan does cover this credit; for the Homestead Property Tax and Home Heating Credits. This should happen after you complete the Use Tax section of the Michigan state interview; you will get asked questions regarding your household resources to determine if you qualify.

The rent you paid as a tenant is not deductible on a Federal tax return. However, some States have a renter’s tax credit for a personal residence or apartment. The States that offers renter's credit are as followed: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. If your State asks rent related questions while answering the TurboTax State interview questions, it will cover that deduction.
