Joshua and Mary Sullivan Purchased a New Home on October

question 87

Essay

Joshua and Mary Sullivan purchased a new home on October 1 of year 1 for $400,000. At the time of the purchase, it was estimated that the real property tax rate for the year would be 1 percent of the property's value. Because the taxing jurisdiction collects taxes on a July 1 year-end, it was estimated that the Sullivans would be required to pay $3,000 in property taxes for the property tax year relating to October through June of year 2 ($400,000 × 1% × 9/12). The seller would be required to pay the $1,000 for July through September of year 1. Along with their monthly payment of principal and interest, the Sullivans paid $333 a month to the mortgage company to cover the property taxes. The mortgage company placed the money in escrow and used the escrow funds to pay the $3,000 property tax bill in July of year 2. The Sullivans' itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction before considering property taxes. What amount are the Sullivans allowed to deduct for property taxes relating to the property in year 1 (ending July 1, year 1) and year 2 (ending July 1, year 2)?
