I have 2 installment property tax bill. First installment i will pay in november 2008 and 2nd will be paid around march 2009. Can I deduct my first installment for 2008? What about mello roos tax and bonds? Should i expect to receive some type of form for property tax just like the1098 mortgage interest form? How do i figure how much i can tax deduct my property tax?
