I bought a new construction house on Dec 10th, 2025. I put it up for rental immediately and got tenants in Feb 2026. I am entering that in Turbo Tax under Wages and Income - Rental Properties .
For the screen : Report Real Estate Taxes: On the county site, I see Property Tax paid for 2 installments one on Dec 10th, and another one that I paid on Dec 30th 2025. The escrow officer confirmed that the builder paid the first one on Dec 10th before and outside the escrow. Should I include that 1st installment paid by the builder also in the Real Estate Taxes OR should i I only enter the 2nd installment I paid? Thank you.
