What taxes and fees can I deduct from a New Home Settlement Statement?
Q. I purchased a new home in 2007. I need to know what taxes and fees I can deduct from the Settlement Statement?
Asked by Melissa Y - Sun Feb 10 10:10:16 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Points paid on your loan are deductible BUT they'll usually be shown on the Form 1098 from the mortgage company. If they are, don't "double dip." Property taxes credited to the SELLER are considered paid by you in the year of closing and are deductible. Prepaids such as property taxes and homeowners insurance have no tax consequences. Ignore them. On a VA loan, the VA funding fee is deductible as MIP in the year of closing even though it covers a term longer than the year. Other prepaid MIP must be protated over the term of the loan. Any other closing costs are added to your cost basis and will reduce your gain when you sell, so hang onto that HUD-1 closing statment as long as you own the home.

Can I send Addendum to HUD-1 Settlement Statement with Homebuyers tax credit 5405 form?
Q. I purchased a newly constructed home & the only forms I have are Addendum to HUD-1 Settlement Statement that has my name and address but no purchase price. I also have a certification of occupany but none of the forms have the purchase price. What form(s) would suffice to mail to IRS along with 5405 form.
Asked by Shantel D - Sun Jan 31 11:59:10 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The forms you suggested plus the sales or other contract that shows the price is required. The IRS must be able to verify the name and address, date of purchase and price before they grant the credit. These forms must be in final form not estimates.

Can I use anything on my HUD-1 Settlement Statement as a tax deduction?
Q. I bought the home in April 2006.
Asked by KarenB - Sun Mar 11 08:07:54 2007 - - 2 Answers - 2 Comments

A. Points for the mortgage. They should be on the 1098 your received from the lender, though, so don't add them if they were. Property taxes credited to the seller are considered as paid by you and should be added to any other property taxes you paid in the year of closing. Property taxes credited to you are considered paid by the seller and should be subtracted from any property taxes you pay in the year of closing. Prepaids (other than mortgage interest, which will show up on the 1098) have no tax consequences, they are just deposits towards future bills. All other closing costs on your side of the HUD-1 can be added to your basis for the home. This will reduce your gain on sale when you eventually do sell.

County tax proration and county property tax reserve on buyer settlement statement, are these tax deductible?
Q. Thank you all for taking time to answer my question.
Asked by sagi2tarius - Tue Jan 29 10:46:01 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The proration is for sure, in addition to any other property taxes that you may have paid. The reserve is another matter. While not familiar with that terminology, I'd guess that it is a prorated payment into an escrow account that you will add to each month with your monthly payments. If this is the case, you could make a case for deducting it in the year of closing as that is the year you 'paid' it. You'd need to subtract it from the amount the escrow agent pays for you next year though before reporting the property tax deduction.

Settlement Statement Questions?
Q. We close on the house on Thursday, and we'll get the official settlement statement 12-48 hours before we close. I still want to hear some real stories about how much other's settlement statements were. We are paying $171K on the home, and the sellers are paying for our closing costs ($5500). In fact, our lender saw that we actually have a $500 credit come towards us, and we have 1 point. Knowing that, how much do you think we would pay for the settlement statement? We're getting REALLY excited about this!
Asked by FaZizzle - Tue Jun 12 22:53:26 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In most markets, $5500 sounds just about right. There's quite a bit of variance on taxes, insurance and title insurance by state. I don't quite get the "credit", since you can't just keep the overage. It's supposed to be applied to the loan. The seller would have to give that money to you after closing, as a personal check. But at that loan size, you're right at about 3% of purchase price, which is very normal.

I am closing on a home very soon. What is a HUD-1 Settlement Statement?
Q. We got financing through FHA. I already have the GFE and Truth in lending report. Why exactly is this settlement statement important to have one day in advance of closing?
Asked by h c - Tue Apr 24 18:08:36 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The responder before me is correct - the HUD-1 is the settlement sheet which itemizes out your closing costs. You will review and sign this form at settlement. Here's an explanation of the fees: Please note, this is for Pennsylvania (where I'm an agent), therefore some of the fees may or may not apply. Consult with your lender and/or agent for the applicable fees.

HUD-1 Settlement Statement Question?

I spoke to a lady from the IRS and she said to make sure I had both signatures on this page.

will i be taxed on a lawsuit settlement?
Q. Six years ago I attempted to buy a condo, but the seller tried to void the contract and would not release my earnest money. I decided to take him to court and since then I have bought another place and moved again. We finally settled the case this year. Part of the settlement was to release the property, but since I had no interest in actually purchasing the property I immediately (same closing) sold the property to another party which was all part of the deal. I netted just under $12,000 and never took possession of the property. How will I be taxed on this money? So far I have not received any tax documentation - only a settlement statement.

HUD settlement statement?
Q. Hi--I have been reviewing my HUD statement and closing papers and have noticed that everything but my deed is dated one day after closing. The attorney already had the dates typed into the papers. Can I use this info to invalidate my mortgage?
Asked by nicksmom - Tue Sep 16 18:06:27 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Did you sign it? By signing you are agreeing to the information that is on the document. Didn't read it? To bad. You were not forced to sign it without reading. NO, you have no case to invalidate the mortgage, especially since you signed these papers 2-3 years ago. ***EDIT: I have read your other posts about problems with the developer. However, based on these posts, the issues don't actually effect you at all. Why do you want to get out of the condo that you have owned for over 2 years? Let me guess, the value has fallen and you want to move, but are upside down.

Settlement statement was incorrect?
Q. I recently sold my townhouse and used the proceeds to purchase a new home. Two weeks after closing, I was contacted by my settlement agent who indicated that there was a $1000 error in the closing documents (They apparently applied a $1k reduction in realtor's commission twice). They're demanding payment of the $1000 and withholding my realtor's commission until I make payment (which means that I'm receiving pressure from him also). Am I responsible for their mistake at closing (two weeks after settlement seems a bit late)? Is there anything to protect me from them coming back and telling me that something else was incorrect on the HUD-1?
Asked by Chris B - Mon Nov 19 09:37:03 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This has happened to me 4-5 times. Yes, you need to correct the error. You are not paying them anything, it is money that was applied in the incorrect column in the first place. It is handled like a banking error, it is corrected and whoever has money they aren't entitled to returns the excess funds.
