We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

The software is showing double the amount of Property Taxes than actually paid. When I go into that section, it shows the correct amount. How do I edit?

How do I get the correct amount of property taxes entered?  I can't edit out the wrong amount?

Yes, it's an easy mistake to make because when you enter your 1098-INT, there's a space for your property taxes. You can also directly enter your property taxes, thus doubling the amount. 

Here's how to correct your property taxes in TurboTax Online:
 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Select Deductions & Credits.
  3. Scroll down to Property (Real Estate) Taxes, select Edit.
  4. Answer the first question Yes. 
  5. Continue until you get to the screen titled, Enter the property tax you paid in 2023.
  6. You should be able to edit the amount under Property (real estate) taxes. If the amount was already entered in another part of the return it will show here. In that case leave the box blank.
