I have the Mac desktop version of TT Deluxe. It will not let me enter the property taxes. The boxes are greyed out. Does anyone have a solution?

For additional properties. I can't enter a number in the first two options. Only under foreign property taxes paid. I had this same problem last year and don't remember the work around. I've been dealing with their support for a week and no one can figure it out. Last year they gave me a work around but I don't remember it. Thanks.

Could you clarify where you are trying to enter the additional property taxes?  On schedule A (to itemize) or, maybe Schedule F (rental properties).  

FWIW: very few people can itemize now (since 2018 tax law boosted the standard deduction($12,550 if single, $25,100 for married under 65yrs).  If you used TT last year, look carefully to see if you really itemized or took the standard deduction.  If you took the standard deduction last year, its likely that you won't be able to itemize this year (unless you've had some big changes in your situation - big changes like:  you donated a large amount of money to recognized charities, you bought a crazy expensive house at the beginning of the year, paid a jillion points for a lower interest rate, bought lots of properties on which you are paying taxes, or had your house re-assessed at a huge tax increase.  

TT has a way of leading folks down the path like they might itemize and then saying "better to use the standard deduction".  So look at the number outside of TT and decide if you are really close, then do the work..

Under deductions and credits in the federal tax section. 

>Enter any additional property tax you paid in 2021
If you paid any property taxes that you haven't told us about and weren't for rental or business properties, enter them here.

Additional property (real estate) taxes (I can't add anything)

Additional homes or land  (I can't add anything)

Foreign real estate taxes  (I can add any amount I want here) 

The first two are greyed out. I had the same issue last year and they gave me a work around that worked. If the properties had a mortgage I could add them.
