Hi,
I purchased a house in May. Since seller already has paid property tax for May & June, seller got credit for that in closing. That credit was added as part of my closing cost. All my closing cost were paid with realtor credit. (Realtor gave credit from his commission money and took reduced commission).
Provided that, can I claim this pro-rated property tax for 'May & June' in my Federal & California tax filings though it was paid with realtor credit?
