by Intuit• Updated 1 month ago
Below, you'll find answers to frequently asked questions about the Michigan homestead property tax credit in Lacerte:
How do you generate the Michigan property tax credit on Form MI-1040CR?
Real estate taxes entered on Screen 25, Itemized Deductions will flow to line 10 of the MI-1040CR form. There's also an override available.
To use the override:
- Go to Screen 53, Other Credits.
- Under the St. Credits panel, select Michigan Homestead Credits (CR, CR-2).
- Under the Michigan Homestead Property Tax Credit section in the field labeled 2023 property taxes levied [O], enter the override amount.
This will override the real estate taxes you've entered on Screen 25.
If the form doesn't generate, it may be due to an income limitation. According to the Property Tax Credit MI-1040CR Instructions, you may not claim a property tax credit if:
- Your total household resources are over $67,300
- Your taxable value exceeds $154,000 (excluding vacant farmland classified as agricultural)
Note: These are the values for Tax Year 2023, and can vary by year.
