If you shift $84 from property tax to mortgage interest, your total itemized deductions will remain the same and it won't make any difference in your tax. I wouldn't bother filing an amended return. In the very unlikely event that the IRS questions your deductions, you will just have to explain that you put the $84 on the wrong line.

Perfect answer...no one would ever question that error. Do not file an amended return.
To give an example of why you shouldn't bother with an amended return: Years ago (before tax software) I changed jobs and received stock from a stock savings plan (not 401(k)). I knew it counted as regular income, so I included it in the line for wages, salaries, etc. instead of the line it was supposed to go on. The IRS noticed I had income from the stock savings plan distribution and expected to see it on the return where it was supposed to go. Since they saw $0 on that line, they sent me a firm letter indicating I owed them a bunch of money for unclaimed income. I sent them a letter back (no email then, either) explaining my error and showing how my salary combined with the stock plan distribution accurately represented my income.
