I bought/closed on my house on 4/21/17 and paid county taxes 04/21/17 - 01/01/18 $1,559.74 to the seller under the section titled "Adjustments for Items Paid by Seller in Advance". Is it my understanding that this amount is tax deductible for me? In November 2017 I received my county tax property bill ($2224) which the full amount was paid through my escrow account. Do I deduct this full amount too? I can't seem to find the answer to my question through old posts.
Thanks!
