Are you referring to monthly payments to an escrow account? Settlement costs do not include amounts placed in escrow for the future payment of items such as taxes and insurance. However, you may include the following settlement fees or closing costs in the basis of your property. Abstract fees (abstract of title fees). Charges for installing utility services. Legal fees (including title search and preparation of the sales contract and deed). Recording fees. Surveys. Transfer taxes. Owner's title insurance. Any amounts the seller owes that you agree to pay, such as back taxes or interest, recording or mortgage fees, charges for improvements or repairs, and sales commissions. See also IRS publication 551 pages 2 and 3.
