Deductions & credits

What is your question?


You can deduct real estate tax that you paid, whether or not it's on the Form 1098. If the real estate tax is not on the 1098 you should have some other records to show how much you paid, in case the IRS asks for proof. The statement that you have should be enough. You do not include the statement or other records with your tax return. Just enter the amount of tax that you paid.


To enter real estate tax in TurboTax if it's not on the 1098, in the Search box type "real estate tax" (without the quotes), then click the link that says "Jump to real estate tax."
