What are “real” property taxes and how do I know I paid them? I paid real estate taxes for my condo, does this count?

Yes, real property taxes is referring to your real estate taxes. Some states have other property taxes for things like automobiles or equipment. These are usually referred to as personal property taxes.

If you have a mortgage statement (1098-INT), you will often enter your real estate taxes paid in that section. If not, you can direct enter under taxes paid.
