Hi

I have a 2nd home overseas which is non-rental.  This is only my 2nd home, nothing else.

 

I did pay real estate tax in 2025 to city govt in that country.  Can I get credit for real estate tax paid on my 2025 returns?  

 

Thank you very much

Regards

U

    No. Real estate taxes paid on foreign property are not deductible per IRS Publication 530.
