Do I report my property taxes paid when filling out info for my 1098, even though their not on Form1098 (they're not paid through escrow or mortgage)?

It depends. You can enter them in that spot, however there is a separate location where you can enter them if not paid through escrow.

• Where do I enter my real estate (property) taxes in TurboTax?
