Then it is totally not fair at all. You are telling me that I also have to pay tax for the amount $1726 (property tax deduction during closing). I sold my 2nd house for $185k and took home the amount ($185k - $1726). You are telling me I have that I can't deduct the property tax amount from the $185k and I have to pay tax for that $1726. That doesn't make sense at all. Are you really sure?
