To claim the deduction, you must itemize your deductions and, meet the IRS requirements

 

Per IRS: Deductible personal property taxes are those based only on the value of personal property such as a boat or car. The tax must be charged to you on a yearly basis, even if it's collected more than once a year or less than once a year.

Have you  tried this (click on bold link below)?

 

Enter Property Tax:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Navigate to the property tax section:
    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to property tax.
    • TurboTax Desktop: Select Search Topics. Search for and select property tax.
  3. Answer Yes to the question Did you pay property or real estate taxes?
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your property/real estate taxes.

When your property/real estate taxes are included on your 1098, you’ll enter them as part of your mortgage interest in the property or real estate tax field. 

 

If they aren't listed on your 1098, you’ll enter them separately as property/real estate taxes.

This is about PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX (based on value for cars, etc) not PROPERTY TAX (real estate). Yes, I tried searching for PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX and clicked it, same result.
