When itemizing deductions on Schedule A, Form 1040, can I claim interest paid on past-due real estate taxes which I paid during the current tax year? For example, my r.e. taxes for 2007 were $1330 and in 2008 I paid $1782 which included $452 interest. Can I claim the whole amount or just the $1330?

I am going to buy the home of my deceased grandmother that is currently owned by her estate. I am not a beneficiary of the estate, but the executors are my mother and aunt. I have read that you are not eligible for the $8000 tax credit if you buy a home from a close relative, but don’t know if my situation qualifies. Have any of you tax/real estate gurus out there come across this situation? I do plan on contacting the IRS to get their opinion beforehand but wanted to see if anyone had any real life experience with this. Thanks.
The state is NY.

I am a beneficiary on a estate will in 2009 a tax return was submitted to the IRS and the state. So far this year the will has not been distributed to the heirs. If the estate does not get settled by the end of the year do the taxes have to be resubmitted again in 2010? It took about six months for the IRS to work on them this year. I sure would not want to wait another year to get the estate settled and distributed.

Trying to find out if I have done everything properly. I opened a business account with a EIN#. Wrote 4 equal checks dividing the probated condo money and about $16,000 of my mother’s personal bank account money which was already in my name too. Checks were approx. $26,000 each. Is there anything I have to do tax wise? Like provide any information to the IRS or my siblings for tax purposes. We all live in Ohio except one in Florida.
