See page 4 of the Schedule H Instructions to determine if the taxpayer qualifies for the Homestead Credit. Required documents (such as the rent certificate) can either be attached as a PDF document to be e-filed with the return, or mailed with Form W-RA.

Credit not Calculating

If the Homestead Credit isn't calculating, you can force the printing of the form to view the calculations. To force the printing of the Schedule H, open the OPT Special Print Options, Including W-RA screen. Check the box to Force Schedule H.

Filing Schedule H Only

Use the check boxes in this section to file the Schedule H only. This will suppress Forms 1, 1A, and Z.
