Hello Mr. Lonzo! Homes in the Villages (2018 to current) have the GFCI protection at the circuit breakers versus the GFCI outlets with test and reset buttons. Common misconception is, you do not need to push the test button on these breakers. Instead, all you have to do is with force, push those breakers to the OFF position (opposite of the direction of the row) then bring to the ON position (align with others in row). You must be sure everything is unplugged from the outlets prior to do this as well. Call us if you need us - Casandra with Pike's Electric
