School Taxes

Can school taxes be expenses on a Schedule E rental property?  For example, a Florida client has a rental house in New York.  They paid real estate taxes for the house, as well as a "school tax".  Does anyone know if school taxes can be expensed like the property taxes?

If it an ordinary and necessary tax in order to own and operate a rental property in NY then yes.  If it was an optional tax payment for someones schooling then no.
