Why can't I file my M1PR via TurboTax? I'm checking the Property Tax Return box when prompted but am directed to the end of the MN return rather than CRP information.

To obtain the refund, the taxpayer must have a CRP, Certificate of Rent Paid (CRP), for each rental unit lived in during the year. The taxpayer's landlord is required to deliver a completed CRP to the taxpayer no later than January 31st of each year.

You will need the CRP to determine your refund, if any, and you must include what is called a Form M1PR with the CRP when it is filed. These forms have to be printed and mailed in to:

Minnesota Property Tax Refund
St. Paul, MN 55145-0020

TurboTax will prepare the Form M1PR for you to print. Towards the end of the step-by-step interview for Minnesota you will reach the Other Forms You May Need screen. To have the M1PR prepared and made available for printing, make sure you check the Property Tax Refund (Form M1PR) check box on the Other Forms You May Need screen, then follow the prompts through the end of the interview.

 

I had the same confusing interaction with TurboTax.
The button says: "Take me to Property Tax Refund", but when I push it, TurboTax jumps to "Progress! You've completed filling out your Minnesota tax return".
I thought TurboTax had a bug, and I wasted a lot of time with this.  A simple message describing the steps for mailing the M1PR is needed to avoid confusion.
Thanks.
