NY Star Credit

Sharing my experience with NY Star Credit, which on the NY form 196 will automatically reduce Line 6 'State and Local real estate taxes' but it doesn't reduce \ adjust the real estate taxes on Schedule A. 

If you reduce real estate taxes on Schedule A by this credit, it will twice reduce it on NY form 196.

If instead of this, you record a negative on Schedule A 'Other Taxes', the eFile will bounce the return for the negative amount. 

The only work around I figured to do is override NY form 196 Line 6 'State and Local real estate taxes' for the correct amount but the itemized detail for this will not print.
