Question

My mortgage company paid my 2023 property taxes in January of 24. Can I still deduct those property taxes on my 2023 return ?

my mortgage escrow payments included payments for my property taxes.  my county was late in getting the tax bills finalized, which may have accounted for some of the delay.  The 1098 I received from my mortgage company for 2023 did not show a disbursement for those taxes.

Sorry, you can only enter it as a potential Federal income deduction in the tax year it was actually paid.....not what year it was "for".

 

The Mortgage company knows that....which is why it wasn't on your form 1098.
