Yes, you can apply appropriate closing costs to 2020.
However, you can’t completely deduct all the costs of closing on your property. Only a few eligible ones make the cut. The IRS denotes the following as deductible costs:
- Sales tax issued at closing
- Real estate taxes charged to you when you closed
- Mortgage interest paid when cost was settled
- Real estate taxes that were paid for by the mortgage lender
- The interest you paid at the house’s purchase
- Loan origination fees (a.k.a. “points”). These would be written as a percentage of the borrowed money.
Additional closing costs that are not deductible include:
- tax stamps,
- attorney fees,
- title insurance,
- title search and
- document preparation fees.
None of these closing costs are deductible on your federal income tax return.
However, those costs can be included in your cost basis when selling your home.
