Turbotax is asking how much I paid in property taxes. Is this county tax as well as school taxes?

    Yes, that is correct both county property taxes and school property taxes can be deducted as an itemized deduction.  Note that if you have a mortgage and escrowed the taxes, you likely have already entered the information with your form 1098.

     

    If you do not have a mortgage and/or did not escrow your taxes, you should sum the total paid and enter the amount in TurboTax Online.

     

    Here's how:

    • Navigate to Federal > Deductions & Credits
    • Choose Add/Edit Property (Real Estate) Taxes
    • Enter the sum of county and school property taxes paid
