Deductions & credits

To add Real Estate property taxes paid separately from what is reported on your Form 1098, use the Property Taxes line instead of the Mortgage Interest line (1098 amounts go there).   Click on Deductions & Credits from the top menu while in the desktop program to get to the Property Taxes entry screen.  

Deductible real estate taxes, also called property taxes, include taxes paid at closing when buying or selling a home, and certain taxes paid to your town office, county, parish, or other tax assessor (either directly or through a mortgage escrow account) on the assessed value of your property or property in your taxing location.

You can deduct state and local taxes that you pay for real estate property that you own, such as your home, a second home, or land.
