Real estate taxes and auto registration fees are part of itemized deductions. Both are part of the state and local tax deduction, which is capped at $10,000. 

 

To enter these deductions:

  • Under the Federal menu, choose Deductions & Credits
  • For real estate taxes, expand the menu for Your Home
  • If the taxes are reported on a 1098, click Start/Revisit next to Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098). Enter the information on the screens that follow.
  • If the taxes are not part of a 1098, click Start/Revisit next to Property (Real Estate) Taxes. Enter the information on the screens that follow. 
  • Be careful not to enter the same taxes on both screens.
  • For vehicle registration fees, expand the menu for Cars and Other Things You Own
  • Click Start/Revisit next to Car Registration Fees. Enter the information on the screens that follow.
