I just want to clarify. I sold my rental property in Aug 2019. Can I write off all of the title insurance charges from my settlement statement? I also paid $6000 towards the borrowers closing costs. Can I write them off as well?
Generally, the only deductible closing costs in the year of disposition for your rental property are those for interest and deductible real estate taxes.
Other settlement fees and closing costs for selling the property become additions to your basis in the property. Your closing costs does include the $6000 paid on behalf of the purchaser.
The basis of property you buy is generally its cost. Your original cost/basis in property is adjusted (increased or decreased) by certain events. Capital improvements to the property, increase your basis. Deductions for depreciation or casualty losses, reduce the basis.
Your basis is your investment in an asset which is the amount used to determine your profit or loss when you sell it. The higher your basis, the less gain there is to be taxed resulting in a lower tax bill.
