Deductions & credits

First, thank you for your response. 

 

Second, let me ask if I have this correctly now:  

 

So on the 2025 return I'm completing now,  I list the prorated county taxes for the 1-2025 to 8-2025 period I lived in the home that was paid to the buyer of my former home. 

 

Then on the 2026 return I list the full property taxes I actually paid in 2026 i.e., the arrears for 2025. 

 

Because taxes are done in arrears in this Ohio county, what about the taxes I had already paid in 2025 to cover the 2024 arrears? are those reported on the forms I'm completing now? 

 

Thank you.
