How to claim my property tax deduction if some of it was prepaid?

[tan_zhif]

I purchased a property as my primary residence and it got closed on Jan 8th 2021. Because the seller had already paid the property tax for the first quarter of 2021, I had to pay it to the seller as part of the closing cost. I have a mortgage as well as an escrow account so the property tax for the rest of the year was taken care of by the bank.

Am I able to claim the part that I paid to the seller in my property tax deduction? Thanks.

Yes, just enter it as you normally would. You do not need a reporting form such as 1098. If your 1098 has an amount, just add this to it.
