I am in Indiana. I don't rent or own a rental so why would I be eligible for this ? Also in turbo tax don't know how to get back to that part of return. Thank you.

It's standard for the software to ask about common deductions. I'd recommend going back into your state and reviewing your selections. Also, what is the question specifically asking you? There's a property tax deduction as well, so I'd answer the questions as they specifically apply to you. Be sure to say you paid "$0" rent.

To get back into your Indiana state return and review your entries:

Log into the software and select the blue button Take me to my return
Select State from the left side bar
Click Continue
Then select Edit or Continue next to Indiana

You can't see your forms until after you pay for the software and are in the File tab (left menu bar). However, you can preview your main form (just not supporting schedules). This is good practice to review regardless.

Click the arrow by Tax Tools at the bottom of the left menu (if you don't see this, click or tap the 3 lines in the upper-left corner).
Then select Tools
In the popup window, click View Tax Summary
Then, select Preview my 1040 on the left side.
Then, you'll see an option for your state on the left side.
