Question

So any escrow expenses are not deductible if you sell your primary residence and gain was less than the $250K exclusion - agent commissions, etc?

But your escrow expenses. real-estate commissions etc.  were included in computing your gain on selling a home.  And that is being excluded  -- so where are  you being made whole ?  What am I missing here ?  Tell me more about the situation, please

if by escrow escrow expenses you are referring to selling expenses then they won't matter if

you qualify for the full $250K exclusion and your gain ignoring them is $250K or less

or 

if you qualify for a lesser amount your gain without them doesn't exceed the lesser amount.
