Where do I enter a second home (secondary residence)?

Hi - there doesnt seem to be any form or page to distingusih primary and secondary residence. How do we distinguish them? We pay mortgage on our primary which we entered (but it never asked for an address). The secondary home is paid off so there is no mortgage but only Property Tax. Where is this entered?

You can enter property tax paid on up to two homes on your tax return. Both the property tax on your primary residence and the tax on a second residence are entered in the same place in TurboTax. In the Federal section, go to Deductions and Credits, then Your Home, then Property Taxes. You will see a screen that says Enter the property taxes you paid in 2021 and there will be two options, for Property tax on your main home and one for Additional homes or land.
