State of Wisconsin school property tax credit

[jbofmadison]

Turbo tax will not allow me to take the 300.00 dollar credit.

@jbofmadison  If the credit does not calculate correctly, use the "Revisit" button in the WI interview to ensure all rent or property tax amounts were entered. Navigate to the WI state return, continue through the interview until you reach "Credits and Taxes" to locate the "School Property Tax Credit" screen.

To claim it:

You must be a WI resident who paid property tax or rent on your primary residence. You cannot claim this credit if you are claiming the Veterans and Surviving Spouses Property Tax Credit. 

If that still does not work:

If you are using TT online, Go out of your program, Clear your cache and cookies go back in.  Or try another web browser.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop make sure all updates have been run on your program. You can do this by clicking on "Online" in the black bar across the top of your TurboTax screen. And then select "Check for Updates".

Please look at the instructions for Line 16 on page 18 in the Wisconsin Form 1 Instructions.

Note the various limitations, most specifically,

You may not claim the school property tax credit if you or your spouse are claiming the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit.

Please review the Line 16 instructions, and if you feel that you satisfy all these instructions, come back and tell us.

I tried that and it did not work.  There was no provision in the Credits Section to address the property tax credit.  The credit did not appear on line 16a of Form 1.  I overrode line 16a, but that prevented TurboTax from electronically filing the return.  This is TurboTax for the Mac.
