Did you receive a Certificate of Rent Paid from your landlord? Otherwise I can't see why you wouldn't qualify.
I have the same issue I been living at my place over a year
To qualify, all of these must be true:
That's the thing i qualify but says I don't get a renters credit
I have to ask:
1. Are you using the Online product?
2. In the Personal Info section did you enter that you lived in Minnesota?
3. In one of the first screens in the Minnesota interview, did you see "Resident Income Tax Return?" and did not change Residency?
4. On the next screen ("Tell us your living situation"), did you check "You rented a home in 2024 and received (or will receive) a CRP from your landlord"?
There are different ways to indicate Minnesota residency, and if you don't do it just right, you won't be given the Renter's Credit.
I own a mobile home but I rent the lot n I was giving a crp by the landlord
Cjpitzer - can you answer my questions?
I found the solution: A few pages before the CRP it asks you if you rented a HOME for part of or all of the year. Make sure you check the box that says you rented a home. A home counts as apartment too. Just tricky wording. Then it should work, but let me know if its doesn’t.
A few pages before the CRP worksheet it asks if you rented a home. Make sure you check this box. A home counts as an apartment too. Let me know if it worked for you.
Having the same issue. I posted a question here too and haven't gotten a response. I wish it would just tell us WHY then we could fix it. But I wonder if it's something just on Turbo Tax's end since the process for CRP is different this year. Maybe they haven't updated things or something. Anyway, I'm frustrated too. I hope we get answers
Hey, @skovar7 ! What fixed the problem for me was this: A few questions before the CRP worksheet it gives you the option to tick two boxes and one of them asks, “Did you rent or own a home and recieved a CRP from your landlord?”. Check the box that asks this. Then go through the rest of the questions until you get to the CRP worksheet and resubmit it. Should work but let me know if not.
Thanks for the reply. I've done this from the beginning as I rent an apartment and have tried it numerous times and still get the instant "you don't qualify for renter's credit" right after. If they gave a reason for it I could tell if it was legit or not, but alas. I'll keep hoping for someone to reply to my post eventually and give me some direction.
@skovar7 I am having the exact same issue. Have tried starting all the way over and deleting and re-entering my CRP but continues to tell me I don't have a renters credit with no reason why. Assuming it's an issue with how they have changed how you file your CRP. Will most likely try H&R Block and see if they have it figured out.
You should go over your Minnesota return to make sure that you answered everything correctly.
