The Bronsons sold their house on June 30, 2014, under an agreement in which the real estate taxes were not prorated between the buyer and sellers. What amount should the Bronsons deduct as taxes in calculating itemized deductions for 2014?

A $3,060

B $2,160

C $1,800

D $2,700

B. $2,160

Explanation:

Note that for the estate taxes not to be prorated between the buyer and sellers implies that they were not allocated.

Under US tax law a deduction is allowed for state and local personal property taxes.

Based on facts, The Bronsons  owned their property for 6 months of the 9-month period the taxes covered.

The Bronsons would pay  $1,800 [$2,700 × (6 months ÷ 9 months)] for the residence tax. Plus the $360 tax on the motor vehicle tax.

Making a total of $2,160 ($1800 + $360) as taxes in calculating their itemized deductions.
