Where do property taxes from a K-1, Box 13 W get entered? Are they other taxes or just other? Was told they are supposed to go on Schedule E, but where?

Received K-1. There was an entry in 13 W for property taxes. Not sure where to enter it. Was told it should go on Schedule E and then 1040, line 17.  But where on Schedule E?  Is it other taxes on the worksheet or just #8 other?  If #8 other, I have to enter it "in the appropriate form" but don't know where that is. Can anyone help?

This is per the IRS Partner's Instructions for Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) (2017)   see        Partner's Instructions K-1

line 13 w

(13) Code W. Other deductions.

Amounts with this code may include the following. Since this is for Property Taxes:

• Itemized deductions that Form 1040 filers report on Schedule A (Form 1040). This will be part of any property tax deductions on your schedule A.   If you do not file a schedule A, you will not claim this deduction.

Thank you.  That was extremely helpful.  It seems like a simple answer but the K-1 instructions are very confusing.

Yes they are!
