So what's the right way to do that in TT? I received a 1098-Mortgage form and in box 10 they report my property (real estate) taxes (as it gets paid out of my escrow). Do I just leave that blank when I'm entering in that form and then manually enter in a number for property taxes ( = the number in box 10 minus NYS property tax relief and STAR credit?).
Also, at the end of the NY state return on TT it asks about the property tax relief and star credit checks, and has you enter numbers for each. But entering it there doesn't seem to do anything... so what's the point of entering it at that point? I'm back to assuming I need to do it on the federal return before I ever get to the state return regardless?
