What tax form do I use to amend last two years to show property tax paid & not reported?

steve: What tax form do I use to amend last two years to show property tax paid & not reported?
I didn’t show actual real estate property taxes paid by my mortgage company for 2007 and 2008. What tax form do I use to amend my tax returns for those previous years so I can get credit for the property taxes paid and not reported? The property taxes paid in 2009 I will show on my current tax return for 2009.

1040-X is the amended return

Answer by the tax lady
2007, use 1040X and schedule A. You need to exceed the standard deduction to see a difference. The schedule A is all expenses, even ones claimed on the original return.

For 2008, use 1040X. Up to $ 500 of real estate tax could be claimed with the standard deduction, otherwise schedule A.

A Form 1040X is used to amend a prior year tax return. You will have a Schedule A change so you will need to include that form as well.

File Form 1040-X and attach a corrected copy of Schedule A.
