I looked over the papers that describe what counted as closing costs after I posted my initial question. The 299 was listed in the buyer or "borrower" column but it was on the initial escrow part. So because it's initial escrow it is not deductible, right? If that's the case then would I say I technically didn't pay property taxes for 2019? I can't find anything else in the paperwork that relates to property taxes besides the amount that goes into escrow every month which is 74.75. We bought in July and didn't have to pay until September first.
