Bug Report - can't enter property taxes

[chuckcobb]

I've looked all over this site for a place for reporting bugs and I can't find it anywhere.  Please provide a location for that purpose.  My problem is this:

• During the step-by-step interview process for reporting deductions
• When you get to the input field to input property tax deductions,
• The input box is locked and does not allow input

There are two places you can enter property tax paid on your home. The first one is on the 1098-INT screen. If you have entered your property tax there, it is the only place you can edit it. The second is in the property taxes section. 

Check here first:

1. Select Federal from the left side menu.
2. Select Deductions and Credits.
3. Expand the list and scroll down to Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098)
4. Click Edit/Add to the right.
5. Click Edit to the right of your 1098 entry.
6. Click Continue until you get to the page that says, Let's get the details from your 1098, at the top. 
7. Below box 5 you will see a box for Property (real estate) taxes.
   You can edit this amount here. 
    

If this box is blank, you need to go right to the Property tax section:

1. Select Federal from the left side menu.
2. Select Deductions and Credits. 
3. Expand the list and scroll down to Property (Real Estate) Taxes.
4. Click Edit to the right. 
5. You can edit the number here only if the this the first place you entered it.

Thank you for that information, but why should I not be able to enter it in the step-by-step instructions for deductions?

I.ve been using turbotax on a mac for years. This year, I've been unable to enter my property tax payments into the software. I tab into federal taxes then debits & credits and attempt to update to priority tax line, All I get is a white screen without an ability to enter my information. This has never been an issue since I started using turbotax many years ago.

It looks like TirboTax has shifted all their emphasis to the online version because there’s more money in that for assisted tax returns and they’re completely neglecting the desktop versions.

I am having the same issue with no direction from Turbo Tax.  Preventing me from finalizing return.

Same issue.  Is there a resolution??

I have not encountered any issue with entering property taxes paid in either Windows or Mac desktop versions.

Property taxes are entered in Deductions & Credits, Your Home, Property Taxes. If they are listed on Form 1098, they can be entered in the Form 1098 screen instead.

If you are seeing a blank screen, it may be an issue with your device's display.

This thread contains some suggested fixes.
