I can not enter my property tax number into Turbo tax software, what will cause this problem?

[JohnB5677]

The program allows two ways to enter property tax, but there is a specific order to do this.

1. The first is to enter it directly under Property (Real Estate) Taxes; however, you must do this before you post the 1098 for your mortgage.
2. If you have a 1098 for your mortgage you can enter under Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098) at the bottom of the input screen.  This will be posted to your summary page as Property Taxes. 

After this is posted the "Property Tax" inputs will be limited to Additional State income & sales tax, and foreign taxes.

I am unable to enter my property tax amount or my car registration fees

Please make sure you tried to do it in the right place. In order to deduct property taxes you must list them in your itemized deductions on Schedule A:

To enter that in TurboTax:

1. Enter your expenses on the appropriate lines of Schedule A.
2. Add them up.
3. Copy the total amount to the second page of your Form 1040.
