Can you deduct the school district tax you paid last year for 05 under "other taxes"(line 8 of schedule a)?

Question

Thanks..

Thanks, Judy.. what else can I include in line 6? We're new at this.. just built a home in 06

Answer 1

School district taxes are almost always real estate taxes, so you'd include the amount on line 6 of schedule A.

Answer 2

they are figured in to your property tax amount. if you are a homeowner and pay property (real estate) taxes then you can deduct them on schedule A, if you are a renter and do not pay property taxes because they are paid by the actual property owner, then you can not take the deduction
