Then its deductible and any refund would be a taxable
recovery.

In such a case, this is not "escrow". You've actually paid
the expense up front. You record the expense the year in
which it is paid. If you receive a reimbursement, you
include it in your income for the year in which it is
received.

What if it's paid but refundable, e.g. some airline tickets
for business travel in the following year, some deposits,
etc.?

I have never, EVER, heard of anything like this. The very
phrase "cash basis" precludes any type of accruals such as
what you describe.

You answered your own question. It's a cash basis taxpayer. If it isn't
paid, it isn't deducted. Escrow is not paying it.

Default Tax Treatment of Escrowed Expenses for a Sub S

For a Sub S corporation, is it possible to escrow expense
amounts this year that would be paid next year out of the
escrow and take the deduction this year since the Sub S is
on a cash basis?
