Investors & landlords
I see now. Appreciate the clarification, as that helps a lot. I've never seen those particular expenses referred to as "escrow fees". I've seen them referred to as "closing costs" or something like that. On the HUD-1, those expenses are clearly spelled out. Without seeing what you got for a closing statement, there's really nothing I have to offer. I can only suggest you get with the title company or whoever handled your closing, and have them break it down for you. All those expenses shown in the referenced screen shot do add to your cost basis. The only one I question is the Land Survey, as that is only deductible if it was a requirement of loan approval.
Typically, if it's shown on the closing statement, it's usually because it was a requirement.
