Anyone know what part of closing costs are deductible on 2006 Fed? Loan origination points? Prepaid interest? Appraisal Fees?

Sounds like geek to me!

Isn't that why you engage a lawyer when buying property?

Points and interest are but I'm not sure about appraisal fees.

Take this with a grain of salt...We bought a new house this year and the 1098 we received in the mail showed our deductable interest and points.

I don't believe the other stuff is deductable.

However... I also don't think it's advisable to get your tax advise on the DBB. Hire an accountant. You get what you pay for.
