It seems as though Proconnect is not producing the MI-1040CR correctly when involving a renter whose property tax credit claim involves a service fee (instead of the landlord paying property taxes, they pay the local government a service fee).
While the form MI-1040CR seems to be reporting correctly according to the instructions for those paying a service fee ("Enter rent you paid for 2022 from line 53 and/or 55"). In the input screens, Housing Facilities (1040CR, Part 5) is where one specifies that they are service fee renters and then enters the rent paid per month, along with the name and address of the landlord. Those items I have entered, but the result is that this is generating a critical error code MI - Ref #33873 that says
"To file MI-1040CR as a e-file return, the taxable value cannot be zero or blank."
Also, there is another error code MI - Ref #43901 stating:
"For Michigan E-file on Form 1040CR when property tax levied has been entered an amount must be present in taxable value of homestead."
I can't think of what I may be missing here. Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks
