I cannot enter property taxes on second home

[hlt]

turbo tax only shows my first home, there is no place that I see to enter that I have a second home so that I can put in the property tax

To enter your real estate taxes on your second home:

1. Type property taxes in the search bar and click on Jump to property taxes.
2. On the Enter the property taxes you paid in 2020 screen, scroll down to the second box, Additional homes or land.
3. Continue with the onscreen interview until complete.

Note: You won't be able to deduct your property taxes if you're taking the Standard Deduction.

• Even if you itemize, the SALT deduction, which includes property tax, is now capped at $10,000 ($5,000 for couples filing separately). This means taxpayers who live or own property in states with high property taxes may not be getting as big a deduction as they have in years past.

I entered the property taxes on my primary home. I then went to line below "additional home taxes" to enter the taxes on my second home and it would not allow me to enter the tax amount.

Let's try a direct entry approach.

1. Start at Deductions & Credits
2. Select Property (Real Estate) Taxes
3. Enter any additional property tax you paid in 2021
4. Post the additional taxes to either
   1. Additional property (real estate) taxes, or
   2. Additional homes or land

If you are using the downloaded program then you may need to double click on that entry box to bring up a hidden summary entry box.

Thanks. It worked.

On the 2023 Home and Business software it Won't allow me to enter data on the line "Taxes on additional home or land". I've tried every way I know and it will not accept any entry. There is a line for it but it will not accept any numbers

@MyturtaX Is the box for entering the property taxes pre-filled with a $0?
