Yes, real estate taxes are the same as your homes property taxes.

No, the real estate taxes are not listed on your 1098. You can find these on your property tax bill, on your mortgage escrow statement (if your taxes are included in escrow) or by contacting your county tax assessor office.

Well

......they might have been paid by your Mortgage company. Some people are allowed to pay the Real Setae/Property taxes themselves...but depending on the Mortage company, the Mort Company might have paid them. IF the Mortgage company paid them, the amounts will be listed on your Form 1098, and will be entered in the same menu line where you enter your Mortgage statement.

___________

If you Paid the Property taxes yourself, then there is a separate menu line listed as Property Taxes where you enter those $$ paid during 2022. People who no longer have mortgages also use that menu line. BUT, you don't enter them twice....
