Can I claim property tax, mortgage interest for 2018? I tried to with no impact to return & TurboTax advised tax break still under review & they'll help me get what I'm further owed once approved.  I moved forward to complete my return filing since running out of time, I just didn't expect this to occur.  I don't have reassurance TurboTax will follow up and tried calling customer support to find wait times up to one hour. Their call back system has not worked for me yet so trying to get more insight here.

If the Standard Deduction (which has almost doubled this year from last) is more than your itemized deductions, those deductions won't impact your return. 

There have been some changes (in part because of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) regarding home mortgage interest. Additionally, last year tax changes were made after the tax year began, forcing many people to file an amended return to address the tax changes.  There is a slight concern that this COULD again occur, although unlikely. 

If any tax changes occur that would impact your return, TurboTax will make you aware of those changes.
