It should be included when you file your return.

 

If you have entered all of your information into the TurboTax program under the state interview questions, the software will calculate the amount of the Renter's Rebate you are entitled to. 

 

Go back through your state section. 

 

If you have met all of the requirements to claim the renter's credit, you will see the following example screen:

 Renters rebate claim

Please see the following information to ensure you do qualify for the credit:

I did get both of the screens you showed in your screenshots, but why is the amount not reflecting on my refund amounts? I filed with my landlords e-file number.

  • You received Form LC-142, Landlord's Certificate, for 2019 from your landlord (or should have received a certificate)

I'm having the same problem. I'm getting a renter rebate in VT, and turbotax even showed i was getting one for a certain amount. But on the top of the screen is says VT refund $0. I even bought a turbotax plus membership and spoken with 4 people from turbo tax, i was told to mail it in and i should get the rebate refund. However, all past years I've used turbotax the renter rebate amount always shows up in the amount I'm owed, not $0.

Same issue here!  I completed all the renters rebate information and my rebate was calculated, but it was not reflected in my refund.  Instead, since I owed a small Vermont state amount, I just said I would pay by April 15th. This was no problem last year.... my guess is that the programmers at Intuit messed up!

 

I had to go to the state of Vermont website to complete the renters rebate.
