Real estate that you purchase for personal use is not reported anywhere on a federal tax return. Business use is a different story, depending on the type of business (rental, business you own, etc.) But any property taxes paid on the property would be a SCH A itemized deduction. If the property is mortgaged and meets certain criteria, then any mortgage interest paid would also be an itemized SCH A deduction.

The purchase of property would not be something you would claim on your tax return, unless it was associated with a rental or business activity. You can claim property taxes and mortgage interest associated with a property for your principle house and one additional property it you can benefit from itemizing deductions on your tax return.

 

You will see that option in the Your Home menu option in the Deductions and Credits section of TurboTax.
