Agree can you imagine if the IRS rejects this (and they very well might).

But technically if you were planning on taking the standard deduction for your 2018 taxes regardless of prepaying anything, you will make out better by prepaying as much as you can for your 2017 taxes since you are likely itemizing those.

Am I correct to assume that you can pay 2018 General if you mail them a check? They are just saying that you can't pay general online?

I'm surprised that 85% of long islanders pay less than 24k in combined state + property taxes.

Nassau county has already posted the 2018 general taxes online at my nassau property. The amount on the website does not include the 1% discount they offer when you pay in full. They will refund the 1% at a later date. What a clusterf...this has become

I paid my school taxes last week I was the only one there. I am sure I won't be able to deduct the general but I will mail it in tomorrow. Trump can't stop the school tax deductions for Nassau since our bill where due Nov 10th 2017 and you had the option to pay in full.

Plus 30 mins each way. Almost a 2 hour trip for me. I’ll pay the extra $3 or whatever it is to certify t and that will be proof if I want to claim it for 2017. The check wouldn’t be cashed until 2018 anyways. Doesn’t IRS day all you need to do is postmark it by 12/31?

So to pay the general taxes, I can look it up on LandRecord Lookup and pay the general taxes as listed for 2018 taxes for my home or is it a different amount?
