Best Answer

Your tax attorney can answer your question directly.

Assessments pay for maintenance, upkeep and protection of real estate assets, and these expenses are not normally tax deductible if this is your primary residence.

If, however, your property is an income property, your tax advisor may have a different answer for you.

How should one claim loan origination fees and loan discount fees when filing for tax returns?

You can claim your loan origination fee and loan discount points as interest. Essentially a loan origination or discount point are used as pre paid interest to the lender to attain a desired rate. Claim you fees as interest deductions added to your interest paid ytd from previous mortgages(on a refinance) or YTD plus origination and discount. The current deduction is relevant to home loans only, within certain qualifying guidelines. Loans secured by things other than your primary residence (like a car, boat, business, stock, etc) generally are not deductible at all. The IRS has a special qualification for when fees and points that are on a home are allowed to be deducted when paid on origination, not as otherwise required - ratably over the course of the loan. Generally, it is best to follow the paperwork you will receive from the lender specifying which fee's and points are considered a prepaid interest and may be deductible. Fees (sometimes reflected as points) like those for appraisals, credit reports, brokerage, etc., generally are not.

When you live in a condominium, you pay assessments which your board budgets each year to pay operational expenses for the community.

In your state, in your tax situation, best practices dictate that you consult with your tax attorney to identify whether or not assessments are deductible from your tax bill. Optional fees, such as amenities-use fees may be treated differently by your tax adviser in your situation, especially if you pay the fees for the benefit of a tenant and your condominium is an investment and not your home.
