Did you submit your information through one of the non-filer applications in order to get your stimulus payment?  There are non-filer options either through TurboTax or the IRS.        If so, when using the non-filer system, your information is processed by the IRS as an original filed return.    If not,  then you may have a more serious identity theft issue to address.    See the following TurboTax articles for some additional advice about your situation:    Reject R0000-902-01:  Taxpayer TIN must not be the same as a previously accepted return   What to do if you suspect tax-related identity theft     @michaelhuff910 @Chuck77083 ...

If the credit is not being claimed on your 2019 return but it is being carried forward, the most likely reason is that your tax liability is too low to be able to claim the credit.  It is a non-refundable credit, so it cannot directly increase your refund.       @wtong123 ... View more

It was most likely transferred from either a Schedule C with a home office where you entered property taxes for your home, or from Schedule E for renting part of your home.     If the amount came from either of those other forms and entries, then the other portion of the property tax was claimed on the other form (Schedule E or Schedule C).       @kkelly1 ...

It could be that the combination of income attributable to your home office and the other business expenses are limiting your home office expenses.    If the home office expenses are limited and not allowed to be taken on the current year’s return, then they are carried forward to the next year as long as the actual home office expenses were being used and not the simplified method based solely on the square feet of the office.    There are some examples below that will illustrate this limitation a little better.   Income Earned from Home Office   The IRS limits the total of certain kinds of home office expenses - the ones you would not be able to deduct anywhere else on your tax return, such as your utilities and repairs - to the income earned from activities in your home office. Although these expenses cannot themselves create a loss on your business, you can carry over any unused portion to next year's home office deduction.   Here's how it works. Let's say  - Your business income before any expenses was $10,000  - All business expenses that would not limit your home office deduction were $4,000, and  - The home office expenses were $3,000   1). If 90% of your income came from business conducted in your home office, then you can deduct all of your home office expenses:  - $10,000 X 90% of income from the home office = $9,000 from business use of the home  - $9,000 - $4,000 other expenses = $5,000 available for home office expenses  - $5,000 is greater than $3,000 home office expenses, so you can deduct all of them.   2). However, if 60% of your income came from business conducted in your home office, then your home office expenses will be limited:  - $10,000 X 60% of income from the home office = $6,000 from business use of the home  - $6,000 - $4,000 other expenses = $2,000 available for home office expenses  - $2,000 is less than $3,000 home office expenses, so you can deduct $2,000 of them this year, and carry the remaining $1,000 to next year.   3). In addition, if 30% of your income came from business conducted in your home office, then you would not be able to deduct any of them this year:  - $10,000 X 30% of income from the home office = $3,000 from business use of the home  - $3,000 - $4,000 other expenses = $0 available for home office expenses (this will never be less than zero)  - You cannot deduct any home office expenses this year, but you can carry the entire $3,000 to next year.     @David53 ...
