Can property taxes paid at closing be considered a selling expense when selling a rental property?

Hello,

I understand that I am allowed to deduct from the sales price various selling expenses that includes the following list:

• advertising
• appraisal fees
• attorney fees
• closing fees
• document preparation fees
• escrow fees
• mortgage satisfaction fees
• notary fees
• points paid by the seller to obtain financing for the buyer
• real estate broker's commission
• recording fees (if paid by the seller)
• costs of removing title clouds
• settlement fees
• title search fees
• transfer or stamp taxes charged by city, county, or state governments.

Though not listed, can I also deduct any prorated property taxes paid at closing?

Typically, when a property is sold, the seller pays any property taxes due up to the closing date.

I have read online that I can consider the paid prorated property taxes as selling expense versus treating it as a rental expense but just wanted confirmation.

Thanks in advance.
