You must ensure that any "Homeowners Advance" you received as a credit on your property tax statement has been entered on the page after you enter your details. It is titled Manitoba Education Property Tax Credit. If you did not receive an advance you must remove any amount that has been automatically entered there.
I have tried everything to claim my Mb. education tax credit but it won't work. It always shows up as an error and I can't netfile it with an error. Please fix your system, I want my refund
I have been using Turbo Tax for many years. This is the first time there seems to be a glitch with the School Tax Credit. I entered the total Manitoba Property Taxes in the Receipts/Property screen. When it comes to entering the Resident Homeowner tax assistance received: Did you receive Manitoba Education/ Property Tax Credit? I left it at NO, and Advance Received? 0 amount received. It keeps wanting to fix the error.
When on Schedule MB479, line 21, it automatically enters the total Property Taxes paid, not the total school taxes paid??? If I change the amount entered in my Property Receipts to the school tax paid, it still doesn't work. I haven't been able to Netfile due to this error. There has been a couple of updates and still isn't working. Is there a way of getting past this?
Looking forward to your response. Thank you
I am having the exact same problem and I wish Intuit would respond!!!!
This has been done over and over and over...it still gives the error message and will not allow me to netfile without the error fixed. Please fix the glitch or provide a video of how you are fixing the error because no matter how many times I click no and remove the dollar amount it still says ERROR!!

I'm having the same issue - no matter what I do I can't get beyond an error about "Enter the amount of resident homeowner tax assistance received from your property tax statement, if applicable, or indicate that a...". I've used Turbotax for yeeeeeears and this is the first time I've run into anything like this.
That thread contains the solution to the problem - it does appear to be a Turbotax bug but you can edit the netfile form and fix it manually. Yay for the forums!
