For now: Review all Renter Rebate forms (PR and LC) carefully in the PDF.
Week three of tax preparation and we have our third significant Vermont TaxSlayer issue. It occurs across a variety of OS/browsers [eg, W-10/Edge, W-7/IE-11, W-10/Chrome. W-10/Firefox, and iMac/Safari). Our browsers have been cleared and our cookies deleted. The problems (at least two pairs of them): Problem #1, on LC-142: On the Landlord Certificate (1) page [and also the other four pages (2)...(5)], you can not enter a value directly into the field for the "percent tenant pays". When you click on that field and start typing, nothing happens...the field remains as "0.00". Problem #2, on LC-142: If you succeed in entering a value (typically 100%) into this field (using workaround described below), click SAVE to exit the page, and later return to this page (for QR, perhaps), the value you entered is gone and the "0.00" is there again. Problem #3, on PR-141: The same problem occurs on the PR-141 page for Home Use Percentage. When you click on the Home Use Percentage field, you are unable to enter a value--nothing typed into the field appears in the field, it remains "0.00". Problem #4, on PR-141: If you succeed in entering a value (typically 100%) into this field (using workaround described below), click SAVE to exit the page, and later return to this page (for QR, perhaps), the value you entered is gone and the "0.00" is there again. Workaround We have been reduced to using the following workaround to enter values into these two fields. • Click in the field that precedes the "percent tenant pays" field [that would be "Dollar value of ..."] or the "Home Use Percentage" field [that would be the "Location of Rental Property"] • Click <tab> to move to the desired field • Enter the value [the digits typed will display] • Click <tab> to exit the field * Click SAVE to exit the page Note: Sometimes this procedure has to be repeated one or two times for it to work. Then, do NOT re-open this page. If you do, you will have to redo the workaround to restore the values, because they will have reverted to zeroes. When the workaround is used, the correct values appear on the printed pages in the PDF. If you re-open the page, the values turn to zeroes and appear as zeroes (or an empty field) on the printed forms. These problems affect both Renter Rebate returns and Homestead returns for which there is Lot Rent (the Allocated Rent from the LC-142, which is supposed to transfer to HS-122 Line B10, will transfer as zero unless the workaround is used. The problem has been reported to TaxSlayer.
