No, you cannot deduct total closing costs, unfortunately - only certain items are allowed as a deduction. You can deduct prepaid interest (known as points), property taxes, county taxes and any mortgage interest. You cannot deduct administrative fees, such as origination charges, title, attorney fees, stamps etc. 

Data entry:

1. Federal Taxes
2. Deductions & Credits
3. Your Home - select Mortgage Interest and then Property taxes
