All Real Estate Taxes are Deductible…
2011-07-14 15:42:51
The requirements to be able to deduct a real estate tax are:
the taxpayer must own the real estate, and
the deductible taxes must be based on the assessed value of the property
In our example property the State/County Tax and City Tax clearly meet the requirements of being calculated based on the assessed value of the property. However, the Special Tax charges are not taxes based on the assessed value of the property. If there were a Refuse charge included that would not be calculated on the property's value either.
If this were your property and you or your tax professional look at the 1098 provided by the mortgage company at the end of the year the $6,114 would likely be reported as the deductible property taxes. This would be incorrect as the $531 Special Tax is included and we just determined that is not deductible.
