Property Tax Deduction

s0tt3rbuck · ‎January 15, 2026

If I wrote & mailed a check for property taxes due in 2026 in Dec 2025 but had to reissue in Jan 2026 due to an error on the Dec check can I still deduct the expenditure on my 2025 tax return since that was my intent?

Intention to pay is not the same as actually paying. You paid the tax in 2026 so it will go on your 2026 tax return next year.
