Since your business acquisition was shares of an S-Corp you have obtained a loan to purchase stock. The link I provided explains how the stock basis is increased due to the loan costs you incurred, except for the interest expense. You can compare it to having a mortgage - the interest is deductible each year but closing costs are not.
