ANSWER: Property taxes are usually pro-rated so that both the buyer and seller each pay the taxes for the portion of the year that each owns the property. Each may deduct this amount - and only this amount. Another deductible item that appears in closing costs is interest charged to the seller on the mortgage up to the date of closing. Also deductible as interest is the amount charged as points. Non-deductible closing ex- penses are fire insurance, FHA mortgage insurance, and charges for rent for occupancy before closing. 32440 Franklin Road Franklin Phone: 626-8700 10% OFF DECK WASH `7, the Atelieizized 74111eiznalizie 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE KEEP YOUR PET HAPPY...
