Hello everyone,
I'm a bit ashamed to admit I don't know the answer to my fiance's question...I'm a CPA afterall, but I don't do anything with personal taxes so I'm an average Joe when it comes down to that.
He had sent a fax on December 22nd to the mortgage company asking them to send the tax payment to the city by the 31st to include it on his 2014 taxes. He has a copy of the fax confirmation. Time passes by...and yesterday he was like, "Hey I never got a receipt saying my taxes got paid." So he called the city and they said they "received" the payment on January 12th. But he received a statement from the mortgage company saying the money was withdrawn on December 31st to make the payment.
So my question for you tax gurus is this: what is the correct year to claim these property taxes as paid?
Thanks in advance!
