Home Property tax deduction

[Presson18]

Turbotax will not let me enter my property tax deduction. A dialogue says that additional information is needed but it does not say what or how to enter the additional information.

Could you clarify for which state or city, even, is this Home Property tax deduction for?

[Presson18]

Home is located in Abilene, Texas and taxes are based on appraised value.  Thanks

So where are you trying to enter this property tax, in Schedule A? That is, in Deductions & Credits->Your Home-> Property Taxes? The screen says, "Enter the property tax you paid in 2022".

This is so straightforward that I feel sure you must be asking about somewhere else. So what exactly is TurboTax asking for, and what is the heading of the screen you are working on?

I agree, it appears to be totally straight forward but will not take my entry. The box I am attempting to enter the property taxes is under: Deductions and credits, Your Home, Property Taxes, Enter the property taxes you paid in 2022. The block has 0.00 and will not let me enter a change.

You can enter property taxes in two places in Deductions & Credits: (1) as part of Form 1098 and (2) as property tax. If you are not able to enter property tax in one section, try the other.

To enter property tax with your mortgage:

1. Type 1098 in Search (magnifying glass) in the top right corner
2. Select Jump to 1098
   On "Here's your 1098 info, tap Edit
3. On "Let's get the details from your 1098" you will see a box to enter Property (real estate) axes below Box 5

To enter property tax separately:

1. Type property taxes in Search (magnifying glass) in the top right corner
2. Select Jump to property taxes
3. On "Did you pay property or real estate taxes?" say YES
4. Enter your property tax on "Enter the property tax you paid in 2022"

Desktop/download software correct?

Try Double-clicking on the $0.

You may have a Supporting Details worksheet attached to that field.
