Odd. TurboTax shows my property taxes as linked to the 1098 from my mortgage company (with that company's name listed)... but I pay my own taxes and nowhere on the 1098 is there an entry for property taxes paid. Why does my mortgage company show as having paid and shown on a 1098? Is this a bug?
Elsewhere I did enter my mortgage-holder with a 1098... but nothing about property taxes.

There are actually two places you can enter property tax paid on your home. The first one is on the 1098-INT screen. The second is in the Property taxes section. If you don't like how it shows now, you can change it.
Start here:
If you remove it from there you need to enter it in the Property tax section:
Please note this only changes to worksheets that you see. The Schedule A will look exactly the same either way.
Doh! I see what happened, and TurboTax is a tiny-bit misleading here. In the mortgage (1098) section one is encouraged to enter property taxes... but one should not do so if paid independently.
I deleted the taxes entry and re-added it a bit later.
TurboTax might make a minor tweak at this juncture.
