    No, property tax (real estate tax) is not always shown on Form 1098. If you paid the property tax through an escrow account with the mortgage lender, it's optional for the lender to show the property tax on the 1098. If you paid the property tax any other way, such as paying it directly to the municipality yourself, it will not be shown on the 1098.
