How to enter 2nd home with no lender bought with cash

Turbo Tax is making me enter a lender and interest paid for my 2nd home but it was paid in cash.   I need to enter only the the property tax for that home as well as an inherited home.   Neither had a mortgage.  I tried to add it with NA as lender and it does not work.

The Property Taxes interview does not require any information about a lender. The entry screen has a box for Your Main Home and Any Other Property. Just total the property taxes for the two additional homes and enter it there.

See the attached screenshots for an example.

Did you have any mortgages?

The first gentleman is correct - TT will not let you enter property tax for a 2nd home.  The cell just doesn't work
