Question

My 2019 real estate taxes are paid in 2 parts. 1st half was due 9/19, and 2nd half was due 4/20. do I claim the whole amount for the 2019 tax year or just the 1st half?

you deduct what you actually paid in the year (subject to any adjustement for taxes that were prorated if you bought your home in 2019 maybe even in 2018. ).   so the 2020 payment is only deductible on the 2020 return.
