Deductions & credits

Closed in October, first payment not due until December. I don't think it was the closing agent but guess it could have been. The mortgage company was supposed to pay the property taxes in Dec 2019. Now not only will I not get to deduct more than $4k in property taxes in 2019, I will have paid over $12k in property taxes in 2020 and the limit is $10k. Just frustrated with the whole thing. Think once the loan is seasoned I will be doing my own escrowing, at least if it gets messed up it was me who did it. I felt like I followed the rules and did what everyone told me and I am the one who is getting the short end of the stick on this deal. Thanks for your help.
