Not for lines 211 or 1004, but yes for lines 106-107. 1004 is for escrows, so they cannot be deducted until paid by the escrow agent. Line 211 is for amounts paid by others for the benefit of the buyer, so no.

Deduction for line 211 only. Line 1004 is tax escrow held by the lender. When the lender pays the tax it will become a deduction for the taxpayer. The lender will issue a substitute Form 1098 which should provide the taxpayer with the amount paid.

I stand corrected. Line 211 is not a deduction. It's been a long day. I'm going home.

Grafton, thanks for catching your own mistake. It takes a big man...
