The amount of property tax on my 1098 form is different than the amount shown on the property tax statement from the county. Which should I use for filing?

Please use the property tax noted on Form 1098 unless you paid property tax separately.

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click on the Search box on the top and type “1098”
3. Click on “Jump to 1098”

If you had property tax not included on Form 1098 then please follow these steps to enter property taxes not shown on Form 1098 (Mortgage):

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click on the Search box on the top and type “property tax”
3. Click on “Jump to property tax”
4. Answer "Yes" to the question "Did you pay property or real estate taxes in 2020?"
5. Enter your property/real estate taxes on the next screen.

The amount shown on the 1098 is what was actually paid.  The other is what was billed.  There can be a time lag.
