How to Complete MN State Renter's Credit for 2024

With the new change in the process for renter's credit in MN this year, I'm a little confused on how to complete it. My landlord said she uploaded all the information to the site they are required to now, but I didn't get an actual form. 
I was doing my state taxes and selected the Renter's Credit box (Yes I lived in MN all year, paid rent, got credit last year, no change this year), I went through the process of updating the information in the online form, and then when I hit Done, it said I did not qualify for a credit this year??  My income is under the limit, I am not married, and nothing has changed since last year. Why is it saying I don't get a credit this year? Is the site not updated yet? It also says something about needing to submit a Schedule M1RENT form instead of an M1PR form this year, but I don't know how to find that and there's nowhere to upload it on the site. Do I have to mail it in again this year?

Hello? Why hasn't anyone replied to my question yet?  Is this an issue on TurboTax's end or something else?

Before you send us a copy of her file, you should go over your Minnesota return to make sure that you answered everything correctly.  

 

  1. When you start your Minnesota return, one of the first questions is about your living situation.  
  2. Continue the questions until you get to the Other Minnesota Credits screenselect the Renter's Credit
  3. In the next screen make sure that you meet all the requirements for the credit and if you do, select Yes
  4. Select Yes to enter your Certificate of Rent Paid
  5. Enter your certificate information on the certificate of rent paid worksheet, make sure to scroll down and complete everything

See the images below for your reference as you enter the information on your return:

Skovar7, I think I figured out the issue.

 

Open Minnesota forms Schedule M1REF.  Click on line 4 - Renter's Credit (enclosed Schedule M1RENT).  This should create Schedule M1RENT in the forms list.  Open that Schedule and check the Activation box towards the top of the form.  This should calculate the form and update your Minnesota tax amount.
