I am trying to file my Vermont State Return and Turbo Tax keeps asking me to input my Rental Property information even though 100% of my homestead is mine and I never indicated that I have a rental at any time during the process. Please help, it keeps rejecting it because I leave the answers blank.

When I view the forms, it doesn't show this rental information or question. Highly confused because even though I mark Yes for 'Owned home as of December 31' it still asks me about my rental.

Description of error:

Data in the return is missing or invalid. Please double check your entries.

What needs to be done:

Your return was rejected for E-File because the rental information is incomplete. On the screen Did you own or rent your Vermont home. If you rented for more than 6 months mark the button that applies. If you own your home and pay lot rent, select Owned home as of December 31. There is no longer a renter certificate LC-142. Fill out the Household income and other information on the screens On the next screen do you expect to purchase a home mark Yes/ No. Then go to the screen Renter Credit claim mark Yes. Verify location of Rented property. On the next screen Required information complete the SPAN number and number of months rented. Continue and complete the state return. Go thru the interview be sure to enter the SPAN number and household income then transmit for E-File. However, if the reject continues, you may want to file this return via U.S. Mail. To file your state return, print it and mail to the appropriate taxing authority."

I appear to have made some progress on the issue of TurboTax stepping me through the renters property tax credit form HR146. I'll qualify this by stating that previously when I have had my 4 submitted VT tax returns rejected, the rejection notification came 5 minutes after my submission, consistently.

On my last attempt, when stepping through the rental form, when I got to the address box for the "rental property address", I left that box blank. I did enter the span # for the address from my tax bill and entered 0 for the number of months rented at the blank address. Clicking continue generated the form. I then noticed at the bottom of the form screen an option to "delete form". I did this, saved the tax file, completed the rest of the review and submitted my VT tax form for the 5th time. It has now been 1 hour and 35 minutes without any rejection notice received by text or email. This gives me cause for hope that the return may be accepted.

So stepping through the renters form, leaving the rental address blank, filling in the span #, entering 0 months of rental, generating the form, then deleting the form, may be the work around to the bug that TurboTax seems to have on this issue. It would seem that if you have already entered the information that states you own your property and have resided there for the full year, the rental form shouldn't even be generated to be completed. It would seem like that problem should be fixable by TurboTax.

I'll re-post after I receive notification of acceptance or rejection of my VT return.

I have now deleted my whole state return just for the Turbo Tax online forms to ask me about my non existent rental property even though I answer Yes to "Owned home as of December 31".

For some reason Turbo Tax wants me to fill out Form LC-142 for the State of Vermont even though I don't indicate my property as a rental.

This has to be a Turbo Tax error.

I even look at the forms and I have no form LC-142 in my Forms List.

I am getting the exact same message, including the verbage in quotes as part of the notification from Turboxtax of the rejected return. We also own 100% of our home & property, do not rent, and have filed the HS-122 to show 100% ownership and use of the property without any rental or business use.

I agree that I think there is a snafu with TurboTax because it directs us to the rental use forms, which are not applicable.

My VT tax forms have been rejected 4 times, even after making several modifications. I have one more modification to attempt. I will re-post here after I see what that does.

I am having the same issue. I do not rent or rent out my house. It keeps asking me to enter my rental address, span #, # of months rented. I left the address blank and tried to leave the span# and rental months blank and it will not let me continue.

I have done what others have tried to continue on with the State return, but I do not see the delete form at the bottom of the form.

I found the forms link on the left hand side. Its in tools I think. Of course now that I've filed I can no longer find it. You need to delete form RCC-146.

My return has now been accepted.
