Have primary and secondary mortgage on my property, should list property taxes paid under which?

If I have two mortgages for the same property (large/primary and small/secondary). Do I put the property taxes I paid for this house in "Property Taxes Paid" box under each loan or only under one. And if only under one, which one, the large or the small?

You can put the property tax under both loans, as long as the amounts are not duplicated (which shouldn't be).  If you are unsure how much your property tax is for the year, just contact the lender (either one) or the county office to verify. Where you enter the amount doesn't really matter, the total amount will "transfer" to your tax return, the IRS doesn't see the worksheets.
