If the statement shows $2400 paid in taxes plus you have a 1098 for $2000 then you paid $4,400 in taxes. The person may have been in arrears a year plus the partial year. The 1098 only shows what the mortgage company paid. Check to see how much you actually paid in taxes. The 1098 and other entries go to a worksheet. The final answer goes on sch A and you should see the total property tax paid added together in your final answer. Entry is not really a problem since it doesn't go to the IRS - none of the worksheets do, only the forms and schedules.
