I found that my problem was that I did not enter a mortgage amount. Because of that, I was unable to enter the property tax amount. I have a home office, so I was able to enter it there.

That are also instructions online that say to clear the web browser then close and reopen Turbo tax.
Hope this helps.

If you are using an online program go into your return

Click Federal

Click Deductions & Credits along the top

Scroll down and click "All tax breaks" 

(you may need to answer Yes/No questions to get to this point in the software) 

UNDER "All tax breaks" scroll down to "Your Home" and click "Show more" 

Scroll down on the list  that opened to "Property (Real Estate) Taxes and click "Start" 

Enter the amount of property tax paid on the next screen titled "Enter any additional property tax you paid in 2019" 

The name of the screen is a bit confusing, but that is where you would enter it.
