Do I need to adjust my federal return if I received STAR credit?

I received STAR credit and NYS Property Tax Relief.  Do I subtract that from my personal property tax paid on my federal return?

Since I imported my 1098, the turbotax software will not let me change the property tax on my federal return.  How can I do this?

If you itemize on your 2017 federal return, you will reduce the amount of property tax paid by the total of all the checks you received; STAR, property tax relief and property tax freeze checks.  Please review the following for more information.
