Closing costs - Board Prez Jun 12, 2009


If the seller is paying the buyer's closing costs, the seller may be trying to reduce the net gain for the purposes of calculating capital gains taxes.

If the seller thinks that by paying the buyer's closing costs that he will be able to deduct those costs, he will likely find out the hard way that he was wrong...they are only deductible by the buyer.
