You have to go back and ammend the return for the year of the missed deduction. You cannot add it to this year. For instance, in 2006 you forgot to put in your property tax of $3,000. You are no filing your 2007's. You paid $3200 in prop tax in 2007. You deduction for 2007 prop tax is $3200. You cannot increase it by the amount missed in 2006 to $6200. You have to reopen the 2006 return, add in the prop tax and refile. the form is 1040X (maybe a state change too depending on what state you are in and what you forgot to put on the return).
