Deductions & credits

You were correct in not including these transfer taxes in your original return, as they are not deductible.  (They may, however, be added to the original cost of your property when you sell it, thus reducing your potential capital gains tax.)

Generally speaking, filing an amended return does not increase your chances of an audit, since the purpose of an amendment is to correct an error on your original return.  The IRS likes accurate returns, even amended ones.
