Is section 8 considered subsidized housing on the homestead property taxes? Michigan State taxes

[tysonsnuggles202]

I dont know if i clicked the correct choice since i get section 8 i pay 127.00 as my part and subsidizing housing since i get section 8 but its giving me a hard time keeps asking on line 6 total rent paid in 2023 so i would put 127 x 12 = 1524 but it says line 6 should be blank im confused

Yes, Section 8 housing is considered subsidized housing. In Michigan, the Homestead Property Tax Credit program provides tax relief to homeowners and renters, including those living in subsidized housing like Section 8. See the rules for subsidized housing. For more information, see MI homestead or reply here with more questions.

Actually I spent over an hour on the phone with turbo tax and they couldn't help figure it out, because every time I put how much I paid out of pocket for rent for the 12 months it would tell me to remove the number of months and amount I entered but then it would take me right back and tell me to put it back in. It kept doing this over and over with no resolution. In the end I filed through a different service and better yet it was free and easy! Good luck hopefully they figure it out for everyone else who is affected by this issue.
