Deductions & credits

If your mortgage lender is paying your property tax from an escrow account--which is very common---the property tax paid in 2023 will be on the 1098 your lender issued to you.  If you are not paying from your mortgage lender, then you will need to check your own banking records and your property tax bill(s) to see when and how much you paid.

 

 

Go to Federal> Deductions and Credits> Your Home to enter mortgage interest, property taxes, and loan origination fees (“points”) that you paid in 2023.  You should have a 1098 from your mortgage lender that shows this information.  Lenders send these in January/early February.
