Box 10 on your 1098 is Real Estate Taxes paid.  If you have an amount in your box 10, you will just need to enter it beneath box 5 in the box labeled Property (real estate) taxes

Box 10 on a 1098 is informational. TurboTax can not do anything with it.  If it affects your tax return, and it usually doesn't, you have to make manual adjustments. 

 

Form 1098 Instructions (to the borrower [you]):

Box 10. The interest recipient may use this box to give you other information,
such as real estate taxes or insurance paid from escrow.

 

Form 1098 instructions (to the Issuer [mortgage company]):

Box 10. Other
Enter any other item you wish to report to the payer, such
as real estate taxes, insurance paid from escrow, or, if you
are a collection agent, the name of the person for whom
you collected the interest.
