Can I Deduct Property Taxes?

Short answer: Yes, if you itemize, within the SALT cap.

State and local taxes share one SALT cap ($40,400 for 2026, reduced for incomes above about $505,000).

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
