TT reviews my CO return and tells me I need to fix an error.

"Check This Entry:
Credits Wkst: Homeex must be entered."
This is followed by three radio buttons:
[x] No entry (selected)
[ ] Snr Hs Cr St Wk Ln1, yes

[ ] Snr Hs Cr St Wk Ln1, no

I assume there should be a "credits worksheet " with a line 1 that has actual words and I could figure out which one to check. But in State Forms I've got no such worksheet, and none of the forms has line 1 that maps to those abbreviations in any obvious way. Can anyone decipher this?

To expand on what I said before in case others run into this: once you click on either "yes" or "no" and move on, the worksheet will become available in Colorado forms ("Credits Wkst"). You can open that up and near the middle is a section "Senior Housing Credit Additional Questions Smart Worksheet" with one question. You can read the full question, in actual English, there, and correct your answer if necessary directly in the worksheet. HTH.

So this is Colorado's Senior Property Tax Exemption. There's a bug when doing the interview that prevents one from filling in this field ("Looks like we hit a snag"). When I selected one of the other checkboxes, the worksheet appeared in the Forms view and allowed me to see more details.

I'm having the same issue. I clicked on the "no" and it went further to questions regarding "incarceration". It's absurd.
