Please follow these instructions if you enter the property tax from a form 1098:

 

1.      Login to your TurboTax Account 

2.      Click "Take Me To My Return"

3.      Click on the Search box on the top and type “1098”

4.      Click on “Jump to 1099” and you should see the “Here's your 1098 info” screen

5.      Click “Edit” next to the 1098 form you wish to edit.

 

Please follow these instructions if you enter additional property tax, not from form 1098:

1.      Login to your TurboTax Account 

2.      Click "Take Me To My Return"

3.      Click on the Search box on the top and type “property tax”

4.      Click on “Jump to property tax” and you should see the “Enter any additional property tax you paid in 2018” screen

5.      Edit the property information.
