Understand. There are two options to enter property taxes paid. The first option is when entering a form 1098 that shows property taxes paid out of escrow in the tax year in box 10. You would enter the box 10 amount in TurboTax when entering the form 1098 in the box labeled "Property taxes". That amount will also populate the "Property taxes" topic automatically.
Should the form 1098 not include an amount in box 10 or you paid more property taxes than indicated there (for example you have another property with no mortgage thus no 1098), you can enter those property taxes using the "Property Taxes" topic in the "Your Home" dropdown menu.
You'll see any property taxes already entered from the forms 1098 and you will have the option to enter "Additional property taxes paid on your main home" or to enter "Property taxes paid on additional properties." None of the amounts should be duplicated.
