Deductions & credits

When you enter the property taxes under the Sale of Your Home topic, TurboTax carries the amount over to Deductions for Schedule A. Allowable selling expenses will reduce the gain on the sale (if any).

 

Sales expenses include:

  • commissions
  • appraisal fees
  • broker's fees
  • legal fees
  • advertising fees
  • home inspection reports
  • title insurance
  • transfer taxes or fees
  • geological surveys
  • loan charges (points) or other fees paid on the buyer's behalf

 

Sales expenses do not include:

  • mortgage payoffs
  • home equity loan payoffs
  • rent-back costs
  • payoff to creditors
  • property taxes
  • homeowner association fees
