If you already filed your return you need to amend it to add the property tax. 

Wait until the IRS either accepts or rejects your return.

If the IRS rejects your return, you can make the changes and re-submit your return.

If the IRS accepts your return, you have to wait until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund. Then you can prepare an amended tax return and mail it in. 

  1. In TurboTax, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. Select Show and then select Amend (change) return, and then Amend using TurboTax Online. (If you don't see Your tax returns & documents, select Tax Home on the left.)
  2. Select the reason you’re amending and follow the instructions.

Form 1040X Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return won't be available until 03/25/2021

 

You won't be able to deduct your property taxes if you're taking the Standard Deduction.

Even if you itemize, the SALT deduction, which includes property tax, is now capped at $10,000 ($5,000 for couples filing separately). This means taxpayers who live or own property in states with high property taxes may not be getting as big a deduction as they have in years past.

Can I deduct property (real estate) taxes?

 

To claim the property Tax:

  • Login to your account
  • Select Federal from the left menu
  • Go to Deductions and Credits
  • Scroll down to Property tax
