To enter in the Property Taxes section:

Sign into your return and select 'take me to my return' button
Type 'real estate taxes' in the search box, then select the 'jump to' link.

Then enter the amount you paid in 2017 to the local taxing authority. For documentation-your check/credit card receipt, and assessed property tax bill. But you only need the documentation if asked.
