Hello,
Every year, we always receive 4 quarterly real estate tax bills for our residence from our town. I pay them when received, and deduct the sum of the 4 payments on our taxes for that year.
Last year, the town had some problems in getting all 4 of the bills out in 2009, and only sent the first 3.
The 4th came a few weeks ago, which resulted in its being paid in 2010.
Question: Can I deduct all 4 payments on my 2009 taxes even though one was done in 2010 ?
Or, do I have to wait until the 2010 taxes are submitted next year to include this last payment
(which was for the 2009 taxes even though received and paid in 2010) ?
Thank you very much, Bob
