Real estate taxes showing on Sched A is much higher than what I input. Why?

I put in a total of $26501 for 4 different properties I own. Schedule A shows $37835. I can not figure out why your software is increasing the deduction.

Mortgage interest can be entered two place in TurboTax....

Mortgage interest can be entered two place in TurboTax. Once in the Interest Mortgage area and also under Real Estate taxes.

I would go back and EDIT the Mortgage interest area and remove the Real Estate taxes from there, and then go to Real estate taxes and make all are entered.

To do this:

Go to mortgage interest section first.

Click on Federal Taxes
Click on Deductions and Credits
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)

Under Your Home
On Mortgage Interest, click on the start or update button
Go through each lender and remove property taxes
Then go to Property taxes (which is next section) and make all are entered once. You may have to total the 4 properties and make one entry.
