You must enter the property taxes in the Federal section of the return under Deductions and Credits.
Qualified homeowners and tenants are eligible for a deduction for property taxes they paid for the calendar year on their New Jersey principal residence. The new law increases the maximum Property Tax deduction from $10,000 to $15,000. For more information about the deduction, see Property Tax Deduction
Tenants and those homeowners who are not eligible for the Homestead Benefit because on October 1, 2020, they were not homeowners, may complete Form NJ-1040-HW to claim the property tax credit or they may claim the credit on Form NJ-1040. Do not file both Form NJ-1040 and Form NJ-1040-HW.
