You deduct in the year that you paid in most cases- you will wait until next year (2021 tax return).
But my lender made a mistake and paid early this year in 2021. Isn't it good for tax benefit in 2020? Thanks again.

Your lender should provide you Form 1098 or other statement that will report to you the amount of real estate tax that was paid during the calendar year.
You only get a credit for when it was paid, not when it was supposed to be paid.
