Tax Considerations >Tax Deductions
Here is a question which is often asked about real estate sales: which home loan fees are deductible for income tax purposes? It is good to know the answer to this question before you sign on the dotted line. It may influence which loan you will choose. Loan fees for certain services are not itemized on your fee statement, but are grouped together into a single category.
The most obvious deductible fee is the loan fee paid to acquire a mortgage for a principal residence. The IRS recently ruled that the buyer could deduct the fee in the first year, even if the seller paid it! Other deductions include pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest. On these items, the buyer may only deduct their share.
Most of the other closing costs are not deductible, but you may add them to your home's adjusted cost basis when calculating appreciation. Among these costs are appraisal, attorney, and inspection fees, as well as title, recording and notary fees. Fire insurance fees are neither deductible nor do they figure into the cost basis. If you are not sure which fees are deductible, consult a professional tax advisor.

I am a firm believer in the value of real estate as a great investment! I have helped clients buy and sell properties in both Missouri and 'The Gold Coast' of Connecticut. Having made many moves myself (California, Connecticut, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington, to name a few) I understand the emotions and stress involved in moving, whether within town or to a completely new location.
As a token of my appreciation for the trust my clients have in me, I make a donation to the charity of your choice for every closed transaction. It would be my pleasure to assist you in your real estate transaction.
