New York State Mortgage tax

[JD2125]

I purchased a house in October 2023 and had to pay $4,200 at closing for New York State Mortgage tax.  Is that reportable under Taxes you Paid on the New York State IT-196, line 8 Other Taxes?

If you're referring to New York's mortgage recording tax, it can't be claimed as an itemized deduction, either on New York's Form IT-196 or the IRS' Schedule A.

See Line 8 in the Instructions for Form IT-196 for more information. 

If you're referring to something else, feel free to re-post with additional information.
