NJ State Taxes Worksheet G

TurboTax's review process said that I was missing info for:

"Homeowners/Tenants Property Tax Paid Wks: Line 1-Address or line 5-address must be entered."

However, I never indicated/completed the Homeowner/Rental section as I lived with my parents for most of the year due to my University sending us home (because of COVID19).

Two questions:
1. Why is TurboTax saying I need to enter this info?

2. Does paying money for University housing/dorms qualify as "renting" in NJ? NJ University.

Thanks in advance.

This website shows why the property tax question matters on that section of the New Jersey return: NJ Income Tax Property Tax Deduction/Credit for Homeowners and Tenants. There's a link on the page to see if paying for a dorm is considered rent. The answer is no, because the universities do not have to pay property tax.

Since my parents' home would be my principal home, where do I note this "neither homeowner or renter" status? Do I just not fill in anything for Worksheet G? For some reason, when I click "No" on this screen, it still brings up Worksheet G in the final Review stage?

Exactly. You don't need that form. Go back to the beginning screen of that portion of the interview and click on the option that you do not qualify for the property tax deduction.

Ok thanks. It seems to be a glitch, since I said that I didn't qualify but it still brings up the sheet. Oh well.
