I live in a coop, how do I determine my real estate taxes paid?
I received a letter from my coop's accountants stating that for the 2015 calendar year, my per share deductions are as follows:
- Real Estate Taxes: $4.68 per share
- Mortgage Interest: $0.73 per share
This letter was accompanied by a 1098 with only mortgage interest received in Box 1.
Is my real estate taxes paid: my shares * 4.68 as I don't see any mention of real estate taxes in my 1098?
Thank you.

Form 1098 is used to report mortgage interest. Real estate taxes do not have a similar tax form. The letter from the accountants is your documentation for the real estate taxes included in your tax return.

I have a 1098 form with an amount in box 10 real estate taxes and an amount for mortgage interest in box 2.
I also got a letter from the coop with the numbers for real estate and mortgage interest to per share.
i purchased the coop apartment after the beginning of the year ( April 2019)
These amounts ( real estate and mortgage interest) are different if I do my own calculations.
Do I have to calculate the real estate taxes and mortgage interest on my own (multiply by my share) or state the numbers on the 1098 from the coop.

It depends.
Your question is a bit confusing so not sure if the 1098 is from the co-op or if you have a loan on your own for the property.
I can tell you the 1098 form is sent to the taxing agencies so I recommend reporting those amounts as they were reported to you.
If the 1098 has the amount for the entire property and the co-op has the amount allocated specifically to you, I would recommend using the number as provided by the co-op as this would be the percentage of the interest and taxes allocated to you.

Than, what do you do with the interest number that they provide?
