    There are 2 ways to do enter the property taxes on your home  The first is if you had a mortgage and paid your taxes to the mortgage company, then the you will receive Form 1098 (Mortgage Interest Statement) from the bank including taxes; the interest and taxes can be input into TurboTax together.   The second way you can enter your property taxes is to enter them directly into TurboTax.
