You can include the total with all property taxes. Taxes are deductible in the year in which they were paid, not the year the tax was assessed. 

 

Follow these steps:

  1. Under the Federal menu, choose Deductions & Credits
  2. Expand the menu for Your Home
  3. Click Start/Revisit next to Property (Real Estate) Taxes
  4. Enter the information on the screens that follow

Keep in mind that the real estate tax deduction is part of the state and local tax deduction, which is capped at $10,000.
