Hi, 

I am working on a return for a client who lives full time in a nursing home, but also qualifies for the Michigan Homestead Property Tax Credit (MI-1040CR). I have their share of the reported property taxes from the nursing facility entered appropriately, but I am getting a critical error for not entering in anything for the taxable value of the homestead. It was my understanding that this field should not be filled in for people in this circumstance, and on last years return that was done by H&R Block, they also qualified for this credit, but this was left empty. However, Lacerte keeps giving me a critical error and I was wondering how I should proceed.
