Tax Considerations >Tax Deductions

Here is a question which is often asked about real estate sales: which home loan fees are deductible for income tax purposes? It is good to know the answer to this question before you sign on the dotted line. It may influence which loan you will choose. Loan fees for certain services are not itemized on your fee statement, but are grouped together into a single category.

The most obvious deductible fee is the loan fee paid to acquire a mortgage for a principal residence. The IRS recently ruled that the buyer could deduct the fee in the first year, even if the seller paid it! Other deductions include pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest. On these items, the buyer may only deduct their share.

Most of the other closing costs are not deductible, but you may add them to your home's adjusted cost basis when calculating appreciation. Among these costs are appraisal, attorney, and inspection fees, as well as title, recording and notary fees. Fire insurance fees are neither deductible nor do they figure into the cost basis. If you are not sure which fees are deductible, consult a professional tax advisor.

Upon retiring from a career in sales and marketing and working at upscale restaurants, I committed myself to researching what career would anchor the next chapter of my life. Becoming a real estate broker presented me with the perfect opportunity to enjoy and pursue my greatest interests. Being a top-performing broker in this magical setting is an all-encompassing pursuit that allows me to be intimately involved with old friends and meet new ones. I love the land and the homes, the celebrations and events, investigating and investing in real estate and riding and caring for horses.

The family vineyard here in Sonoma Valley is also very much a part of my husband's and my life. All of the aspects of matching people to their dream, complex or simple, bring me great satisfaction. Doing that skillfully provides my clients with genuine satisfaction. I am proud to work for Frank Howard Allen, Wine Country Group(tm); this company's support and network (FHA has participated in over 50% of the high end transactions in the Sonoma Valley area), has provided me with even more tools and team members to better serve my clients when they're faced with the special needs and challenges that wine country properties and estates may present. With my technical capabilities and intimate knowledge of marketing, which includes the latest Internet technologies, I can insure you the buying and selling cycles will be quicker, smoother and more profitable for you.
