Should I enter my property taxes as part of my 1098 even though they don't show up on my 1098? I pay property taxes directly to the county, not from an escrow account.

You can enter them there, or there is a separate entry section for property taxes.Property tax input can be confusing.

• Property Tax is often reported with the Mortgage Interest on form 1098.
• However, it is presented on the summary under a separate tab labeled Property Tax.
  • You cannot edit the amount you posted on the mortgage entry screen.
  • If you wish to edit this, go back to the Mortgage 1098 and make the changes.

To post Property Tax as a separate listing

1. Log into TurboTax
2. Under Federal > Deductions & Credits
3. In dropdown select Property (Real Estate) Taxes
4. [Start] or [Edit]
5. Did you pay property or real estate taxes? [yes]
6. Enter the amount under Property taxes on your main home
