Deductions & credits

I'm not sure what "line 1" refers to, but there are two main ways to determine what your Real Estate taxes were.

  1. If you pay your taxes with your mortgage it will state the amount paid on your FORM 1098.  If you don't see it on the front then it may be posted on the back.
  2. The second alternative is to contact your Town Hall and ask for the amount of Real Estate Tax PAID in 2019. (It doesn't matter if you paid the bill for 2019 or 2020.  It only matters that you paid it in 2019.)
