Another post response to a similar subject said if you enter property taxes on a 1098 form (relating to mortgage payments), you must make a change in that form for the property tax to register in the deductions section. My mortgage has been paid off for several years, so I don't have a form 1098. I entered "No" to "Did you pay any home loans in 2023?". The next screen is "Enter the property tax paid in 2023". The first line where you can enter data is "Property taxes on your main home". The box to the right of that line contains "0.00" and is locked, preventing any change to the value. The other two data entry boxes on that screen -- for different property taxes -- allow values to be entered.
