Hello,
On my settlement statement, in Prorations/Adjustments section there are city/town taxes debited to/from borrower/buyer (me) and credited to seller.
It is my understanding that this is a reimbursement of real estate taxes prepaid by the seller. Therefore, it can be included in my real estate tax deduction, based on this article: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/home-ownership/buying-your-first-home/L5QxJLcQT.

OK, thank you.
Where at on turbo tax would you input that info?
Yes, you can claim this as a property tax paid. To report:
