Certain fees are able to be deducted upon the sale of the property amortizable. They are added to the basis and reduce your gain upon the sale.

 

The only deductible closing costs are those for interest, and deductible real estate taxes. Other settlement fees and closing costs for buying the property become additions to your basis in the property. These basis adjustments include:

    * Abstract fees,

    * Charges for installing utility services,

    * Legal fees,

    * Recording fees,

    * Surveys,

    * Transfer taxes,

    * Title insurance, and

    * Any amounts the seller owes that you agree to pay, such as back taxes or interest, recording or mortgage fees, charges for improvements or repairs, and sales commissions.
