I have provided the instructions below on how to deduct property taxes that were paid when you closed on your new home. 

  • Make sure you are fully logged into the software
  • Click Federal on the top tab
  • Click Deductions and Credits on the top tab
  • Make sure you click "I'll Choose What I Want to Work On"
  • Scroll down until you get to the section titled Your Home
  • You will enter those taxes that were paid under the section titled Property Taxes.
