Question

Craig and Karen Conder purchased a new home on May 1 of year 1 for $200,000. At the time of the purchase, it was estimated that the real property tax rate for the year would be 1 percent of the property's value. How much in property taxes on the new home are the Conders allowed to deduct under each of the following circumstances? Assume the Conders' itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction before considering property taxes and the property tax is the only deductible tax they pay during the year.

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.

Required:

  1. The property tax estimate proves to be accurate. The seller and the Conders paid their share of the tax. The full property tax bill is paid to the taxing jurisdiction by the end of the year.
  2. The actual property tax bill was 1.05 percent of the property's value. The Conders paid their share of the estimated tax bill and the entire difference between the 1 percent estimate and the 1.05 percent actual tax bill, and the seller paid the rest. The full property tax bill is paid to the taxing jurisdiction by the end of the year.
  3. The actual property tax bill was 0.95 percent of the property's value. The seller paid their share of taxes based on the 1 percent estimate, and the Conders paid the difference between what the seller paid and the amount of the final tax bill. The full property tax bill is paid to the taxing jurisdiction by the end of the year.
