there's no reportable (taxable) event until the transaction
closes which in these facts is 07, this includes the tax
withholdings which are done at the close.

Gain: Reported in 2007
Taxes (assumes you meant real property taxes): Reported in
the year the taxes are actually paid to the tax collector.

Default Real estate and end of year tax planning.

I'm sure this is obvious, but I'm not really thinking
straight at the moment.

Hypothetically, suppose a real estate escrow opens in 2006
and closes in 2007.

Is the gain reportable in 2006 or 2007?

Are withheld taxes attributable to 2006 or to 2007?

Are withheld states taxes deducible (for Federal purposes)
in 2006 or 2007?

I'm pretty sure the answers are all 2007, but I may be
missing something.
