Ok so last year we refinanced our house at the end of August, just in time when the next property tax bill was coming due. So i got my (2) 1098s, one from my old mortgage company for Jan-Aug, and second one from my current mortgage company Sep-Dec. On the first 1098 from my old mortgage company they reflect the correct amount paid by them for property taxes, however on my second 1098 from my current mortgage company the amount is wrong, they didn't include the first payment (making it off by 25%). I did check the county assessors website to get the correct amount, so which one do i report? Does IRS know which amount is correct and how much was actually paid, even if my current mortgage company screwed up on the 1098?
