Ohio property tax deduction estimator

Estimate how property taxes affect your federal itemized deduction.

How this estimator works

Step 1 adds your property tax and other SALT payments, then applies the $10,000 cap.

Step 2 combines capped SALT with mortgage interest and other itemized deductions. The result is compared to the standard deduction for your filing status.
