Property tax deduction

[angela722]

I need to update my Property Tax deduction. However, when I click on the Update button, I get a blank screen. I have already tried: 

Go to the Federal section in the left panel
Select "Deductions & Credits"
Go to All tax breaks, select "Your Home"
Select "Property (Real Estate) Taxes

I need to update this section ASAP. Please help.

You may want to log out, clear your cookies and cache, and then log back in to see if that helps. 

Here's how:

Each browser has a slightly different method for deleting cookies. Choose the browser you're using:

• Internet Explorer
• Mozilla Firefox
• Google Chrome
• Safari
• Safari for iOS (mobile devices)

A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, so sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files).

Here are the official instructions for the most popular browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (use the drop-down on the upper right corner of that page for earlier versions)
• Microsoft Edge

Apple's official support site doesn't appear to contain instructions for clearing the cache in Safari. Your best bet is to search the Internet for clear Safari cache or similar search terms.

I will try your response today. Thanks. But I'm not sure that works.

Can't change real estate tax numbers.

There may be two alternatives.  Go back to the Federal input area.

If you've started to post your Mortgage Interest (Form 1098),  there is a space to enter your Real Estate Taxes there.  These will carry over and be reported in the Real Estate Tax area.

I have also seen the situation where yo try to enter the taxes under "Property Taxes" and there is nowhere to put the adjustment.  If you go through the questions all the way to the end it will give you an opportunity.
