TT calculated my property tax credit for NJ incorrectly. The credit is $50 but based on worksheet H I should get a property tax deduction

[LeticiaF1]

TurboTax will use the deduction on your NJ return that is more advantageous for you.  TurboTax transfers data from your federal return to your state return and to calculate your NJ deduction you will need to enter your property taxes on your federal return.  Make sure that you entered your real estate property taxes on your federal return, under itemized deductions.  

Before you begin troubleshooting your state return, go back through your federal return and make sure everything is correct.  After you review your federal return, select the State Taxes tab and review the state section. Pay close attention to the information, especially if you have made changes to your federal return. There might be new sections that need to be completed.

@dwaynesquestions 

You said "based on worksheet H I should get a property tax deduction." Are you referring to Worksheet H in TurboTax or to a copy of Worksheet H that you filled out yourself? If you are talking about a copy of Worksheet H that you filled out yourself, compare your Worksheet H line by line to the Worksheet H in TurboTax. Where are the differences?

On your New Jersey tax return are you claiming the credit for tax paid to another jurisdiction?

If you are using TurboTax Online you will have to print your New Jersey tax return, with all worksheets, in order to see Worksheet H.
