Home Sale - Adjusted Cost Basis

[tjfreund]

Which of the following items (if any) from my original mortgage be added to the cost basis of my home (and under what TurboTax adustment heading would each be included):

• 803 Appraisal Fee
• 804 Credit Report
• 805 Lender's Inspection Report
• 810 Flood Certification Fee
• 813 Processing Fee
• 816 Tax Service / Registration Fee
• 817 Underwriting Fee
• 1116 Courier Fee
• 1121 Sales Tax on Escrow Fees
• 1122 Sales Tax on Load Policy

Also can any items from a refinance also be added to an adjusted cost basis

• 803 Appraisal Fee 
• 804 Credit Report 
• 805 Lender's Inspection Report 
• 810 Flood Certification Fee 
• 813 Processing Fee 
• 816 Tax Service / Registration Fee 
• 817 Underwriting Fee 
• 1116 Courier Fee
• 1121 Sales Tax on Escrow Fees

It’s important to note that there are some commonly found amounts on settlement statements that cannot be included in your Cost Basis:

Amounts placed in escrow for future payments (typically taxes and insurance)
Casualty insurance premiums.
Rent for occupancy of the property before closing.
Charges for utilities or other services related to occupancy of the property before closing.
Charges connected with getting a loan. The following are examples of these charges.
Points (discount points, loan origination fees).
Mortgage insurance premiums.
Loan assumption fees.
Cost of a credit report.
Fees for an appraisal required by a lender.
Fees for refinancing a mortgage.

I conclude that none of the items you listed add to the basis of your home

(i.e. Appraisal Fee, Lender's Inspection Fee ...)

I was unable to find a definitive list of the typical items on a closing statement and how they related to the TurboTax Adjusted Cost Basis headings.
