You will only be able to deduct property taxes on this PR property if this is a personal use property (like a second home).

You will be able to enter the amount of foreign property taxes (in USD) as an "other property" amount under deductions and credits for home deductions.

To enter your Property Taxes in TurboTax Online (for TurboTax Online sign-in, click Here , then select "Take Me to My Return")  or Desktop, please follow these steps:

  1. Once you are in your tax return, click on the “Federal Taxes” tab ("Personal" tab in TurboTax Home & Business)
  2. Next click on “Deductions and credits”
  3. Next click on "jump to full list" or “I’ll choose what I work on”
  4. Scroll down the screen until to come to the section “Your Home”
  5. Choose "show more", then Property Taxes and follow the onscreen instruction
  6. Enter your foreign property taxes (in USD) in the "other property" amount box (screenshot)
