You can deduct property taxes paid on all properties you own if you itemize your deductions.

However, for 2018, the SALT (state and local taxes) deduction is limited to $10,000.

In TurboTax, you can enter Property taxes by following these steps:

In TurboTax, open your tax return
Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Deductions & Credits on top of the screen
Scroll down to All Tax breaks, locate the section Your Home and click on Show more
Click Start next to Property (real estate) taxes.
