If the condo you purchased will be your personal residence, you can only deduct mortgage interest and real estate taxes. You can also deduct mortgage interest and taxes on a second home. The other charges that appeared on your escrow closing statement can be added to the purchase price of the property and would reduce any taxable gain when you sell the property.
There are limits to the amount of mortgage interest and taxes that can be deducted under current law. TurboTax will prompt you for the information needed to calculate any limitations.
If the condo is used as a rental, you can deduct such recurring expenses as homeowners' association dues, utilities, and insurance but you would still add the expenses related to purchasing the property to the basis (the total cost of the purchase).
See this TurboTax article for more information, including the treatment of points.
mortgage insurance premiums may be deductible
A mortgage insurance premium deduction is only available if all of these are true:
You paid or accrued premiums on a qualified mortgage insurance contract issued after Dec. 31, 2006.
The mortgage is acquisition debt for a qualified residence (a new mortgage).
You itemize your deductions.
However, even if you meet the criteria above, the mortgage insurance premium deduction will be:
Reduced by 10% for each $1,000 your adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than one of these:
$100,000
$50,000 if married filing separately
all points paid are deductible unless rental property
for real estate taxes that are escrowed only amounts withdrawn from escrow to pay the taxes are deductible and for the first time, you have to reduce this amount for any closing credit you received for taxes that accrued during the period the previous owner owned the property. if there is a charge on the closing statement for real estate taxes read the description, the previous owner may have prepaid the taxes for a period after the sale and you are being charged for this, you get to deduct this amount
