Hello Intuit Community:

I have a question regarding for property tax payment: usually it is done by 2 installment for my property tax. For example, for 2021, I paid 1/2 amount during year 2021, and the 2nd half (still the same bill) in early 2022. For tax return purpose, under the category of "property tax paid in 2021", should I including the total amount on the property tax bill of 2021 or the 1/2 amount I actually paid in year 2021? Thank you so much!

Only enter the amount paid in 2021 for the property taxes.  You can enter the taxes paid in 2022 on the 2022 tax return.
