You do that in your state return when you go through the state interview.

 

It does not go on your Federal return.

 

Which State are you filing it for?

Minnesota.  I did check the box saying I have the form, but I did not get to input the amount of rent paid anywhere.  That's what I'm wondering where to put that amount

Here the steps:

 

In TurboTax online,

  • After you sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off
  • On-screen, Status of your state returns, under Minnesota, select Edit or Continue
  • Follow prompts all the way through
  • Bypass "Minnesota Credits" and "Minnesota Business and Investment Credits"
  • On-screen, Other Forms You May Need, checkbox Property Tax Refund ( Form M1PR), and Continue
  • See the image below

I did what Lila posted.  But where do I put the amount of rent paid on my state return for Minnesota?  That's what I need to know please.  

Thank you!

LinaJ2020---. I did what you posted, but nowhere was I able to input the AMOUNT of rent I paid for 2019. That's what I am questioning where to put that amount. In Minnesota, on state form. 

Thanks for a reply

If you follow the prompts, you should see the screen" Total Rent Paid from CRP".  See the image below.  Your landlord should also have provided you with a 2019 Form CRP.  You would enter the number from line 3 on the screen.

LinaJ2020:.  This screen did NOT come up for me at all. That's why I am questioning it.  And I do have the form

LinaJ2020-- as I indicated in a previous post, the screen you mention where I am supposed to put the amount of rent paid, DIDN'T come up for me. 

This is so frustrating and is not supposed to take long to complete, but would help if the prompt you indicated would show up for me. Thanks

In order to assist you, I would like to take a look at your program to see what's going on, if that's okay with you.  This is called a diagnostic copy request. To send me a copy, here are the steps you would need to take on your end: 

 

 

In TurboTax online,

  • Sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off
  • To your left, select Tax Tools, click on the drop-down menu
  • Select Tools
  • On the Tools Center screen, select Share my file with Agent ( the very last option)
  • Follow prompts
  • You will be given a token number
  • Please provide me with that token number.  ( For security purposes, your personal information will not be revealed)

Certificate of Rent Paid (CRP) is at the very end of the state return, after the questions about penalties, extensions ( click Skip Extension).

There are several screens related to the CRP, make sure you continue through the screens and answer all of the questions.

MayaD:.  I just went in on this and skipped extensions, marked the box for the rent form, nothing came up right after marking the box to complete my info.  

My federal and state returns were reviewed and said all is ok and I get to a screen that says: review order (which I have done many times in the last 2 days), your refund info OR sign and file returns.  So where are all the questions regarding the rent I have paid form? I don't want to go too far and end up signing before it's even complete.  Frustrated for sure by now.

Whoever can help with this would be appreciated-- I get all the way to the end of the state return where it says ""done with state"", BUT there is NOWHERE before I touch that "done with state" button, to input the info from the certificate of rent paid.  This is the 2nd day I'm trying to complete this and paying for help, but I have not gotten where I can input the certificate of rent paid info.  Please help !!

To enter your Certificate of Rent in your Minnesota return, please follow these steps:

 

1.  In your Minnesota return, continue through the screens until you reach Other Forms You May Need.

2.  Mark the box for Property Tax Refund (Form M1P) and click Continue.  [See screenshot below.]

 

 

3.  Continue through the interview, entering the information.

This is so frustrating!!!  I have said before that I have marked that box and I have touched ""continue"" and NONE of those  screens come up.   

I am getting so frustrated as this is day 3 that I'm trying to get help on this .  

I tried to clear it and start over also, but it says I can't since I registered .  And that's because I had to towards the beginning. 

 

Please have a manager help me or give me a phone number where I can talk to someone in person.

Thanks
