Property Tax Deduction/expenses and depreciation value

Otto O.

Hello all,

I am a newbie. I just bought a property January 28, 2013. have a question about property tax deduction. I got 2 supplemental bills with a different fiscal year last year. I paid them off in 12/31/13 with a total of $6347 by check. How much do I input to turbo tax?

Fiscal Year July 1, 2012 - June 30 2013.

First installment $944

Second installment $944

Fiscal Year July 1 2013 - June 30 2014

1st installment $2229

2nd installment $2229

And one more property tax bill, that is paid by escrow account

Fiscal year July 1 2013 - June 30 2014

1st installment $862, paid in 2013

2nd installment $862, paid in 2014

Do I put what I paid or do I have to prorate first and second installments? I am very confused of what I have to put to get the deduction -_-;

Do I go with "improvements" value $385777/27.5 years to get my depreciation of the building? Should I get it from somewhere else?

Thank you for all your help.
