State tax filing

I'm presuming all of these properties are personally owned and not rental and/or income producing. You can claim state property taxes both real estate and personal (cars, mobile homes etc) and state income taxes up to the new tax law limitation of $10,000 total. If your total of Schedule A deductions (state income taxes, mortgage interest, property taxes, charitable contributions etc)  don't exceed $12,000 if single or $24,000 if married filing jointly, you'll be better off just taking the standard deduction and not filing Schedule A. TurboTax will determine that automatically after you enter your deductions. The limitation does not apply to rental properties. Taxes are considered a business expense for those.
