It wasn't quite official until 2025, however the home was yours and you were required to pay the real estate taxes. &nbsp;If the estate paid the taxes it would be a deduction on the estate tax return, if there was no estate tax return then they would be allowed on your tax return.</SPAN></P> Sun, 13 Apr 2025 19:55:10 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/re-property-real-estate-taxes/01/3653152#M349893 DianeW777 2025-04-13T19:55:10Z
