Hi, we lived in NC and purchased a home in SC in 2020. We paid taxes for our home at closing for SC, where do I enter this?

If you're a homeowner, your property taxes are entered in the Deductions & Credits section:

  1. Sign in and open your return if you're not already in it.
  2. Inside TurboTax, search for property tax and select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.
  3. Answer Yes to the question Did you pay property or real estate taxes in 2020?
  4. Enter your property/real estate taxes on the next screen.

Important Additional Information

When your property/real estate taxes are included on your 1098, you’ll enter them as part of your Mortgage Interest in the property or real estate tax field. If they aren't listed on your 1098, you’ll enter them separately as property/real estate taxes.
