Annette Nellen opines that real estate taxes on investment property (property held for the production of income) deductible under IRC 212 go on Line 6, which excludes them from the $10K SALT limitation. Cite is IRC 164(b)(6). Comments from other preparers recommend disclosure on Form 8275.

I've been following that discussion on a different list-serve.  I haven't formed an opinion, yet.

That was such a good question that you had to ask twice?

When in doubt, read the instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040sca.pdf If you are still confused wait for Phoebe to throw in another wonderfully intriguing twist. 

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

I generally only deduct the ones that were actually PAID during the year.
