Before it could work for you because the year you paid the property tax would be the year that they would go on your itemized deductions. For some it didn’t matter because you were getting hit with AMT… And now, it doesn’t matter as much because your SALT deductions are limited. I didn’t even both to itemize last year.
The standard deduction was a better option for me, and since I intentionally did very little donations, there wasn’t much worth itemizing.[/quote]
Right, now it doesn’t matter. Maybe this is the year to go back to a normal schedule of paying property tax.
And the mortgage deduction isn’t worth as much to most filers – except for those well above standard deduction.
