For some reason my property tax box wasn't filled out even though they are included in my escrow account. Is there a reason for this not being filled out?

How was your property tax information entered? Did you import a 1098 from the lender or did you key it in by hand? Either way, it if was on the 1098, you need to check the information very carefully on imported data, and check carefully when you key in information.

Did you already e-file? If you already e-filed:

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it. It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner. The IRS does not allow you to take it back.

If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.” The changes will go nowhere.

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return. If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.

If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally. You will need to use a form called a 1040X.

Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself. Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

The Form 1040X you need will not be available until late February.

If you imported a Form 1098 reporting Mortgage Interest, you may still need to enter your Property Tax separately if you don't see it on the Deductions & Credits summary.

Type 'property tax' in the Search area, then click on 'Jump to property tax' to get to the section.

Here's more detail on Entering Property Tax.
