1098 form box 10 "Other" Where are property taxes?

[kaidenhawke]

Box 10 on my 1098 form just lists the principal paid and the ending principal balance.  It doesn't say anything about property taxes. Where do I find these taxes if I use an Escrow account?

The property tax is not required to be printed on a 1098, although many mortgage companies print it as a matter of courtesy by finding a blank spot to print "Property taxes $XXXX.XX" (typically near the bottom).

If this doesn't appear on the front of your 1098, then look on the back, or even on the second page. Look especially for a listing of transactions related to your escrow account, because the payment of the property taxes will show up as a disbursement from escrow.

If you can't find the property taxes anywhere on the 1098 or the accompanying pages, then give your mortgage company a shout.
