Question about Property Tax Returns?

I owned my first piece of property earlier this year and I filed tax returns for my property. The man at H&R Block told me the property taxes don t typically come until August, well after the state and government checks come. It s now August 19th and after calling the IRS and being put on hold for hours on end. I thought I d just ask you all was the H&R guy correct? If so, is my property tax return late? Do I need to get back on the phone with them and wait for hours to talk to someone? Or should I be patient?

    The IRS has nothing to do wih property tax. And there is no such thing as filing a property tax return. You get a bill once or most places twice a year, and you pay it. If you have a mortgage, you usually pay every month into something called an escrow account with your lender, and they pay the tax from that account when it's due.

    There are no property tax returns, doesn't exist. The IRS does not assess property taxes, the county or city does. The HR Block guy had no clue what he was talking about, at all. you bought the property this year....if you were filing a return it would happen NEXT YEAR. But it won't happen then either, because property tax returns aren't a thing that exists.

    The IRS has nothing to do with property taxes. If you want to know when you will get your r local tax assessor's office. However, expect that your mortgage company will pay the bill since you probably pay into an escrow account to cover the tax and insurance.

    The IRS has NOTHING to do with your Property Taxes. Property taxes are paid to the county you live in.

    you didn't listen to your tax man, property taxes have NOTHING to do with IRS

    those are taxes imposed by your county and they send out the tax bills usually in Oct. you are able to pay two equal installments in Dec and April, again, NOTHING to do with IRS
