if I bought a home on 12/01/2012 although I paid the property tax for the
whole year staring from 12/01/2012 to 11/30/2013?

Q:I received my property-tax bill a few weeks ago and already paid the first
half installment of $1,432. But if I pay the second installment of $1,432
that's due in April this month, too, can I deduct the full amount ($2,864)
on my next income-tax return?
A:Yes. The IRS allows you to deduct your property taxes on the return you
file for the year in which you pay them. So, even though your second
installment isn't due until the spring, you would be able to write off the
entire $2,864 tax bill on your 2010 return if you pay the installment now.
The conclusion is, deduction occurs when the payment occurs no matter for
what period. So I can deduct my whole payment through 11/30/2013.
