amount reduce the cost basis for the property for depreciation? Does this effect how I report property taxes paid on Schedule E?

Yes, I understand it properly now. I was confused by the change between the accrual and cash methods for reporting. For most of my rental business taxes I report income and expenses under the cash method, but I have to adjust for these taxes to the accrual method. I believe the other thing that would require the use of the Nike Windrunner Gx1 White

Buyer Schedule E deduction for property taxes is $250 ($500 buyer paid minus $250 reimbursement from seller).

If the seller, however, reimbursed you, then this changes Steven answer. From the wording of your question, I get the sense that you either got or are expecting a credit on the HUD 1 for the property taxes attributed to the seller period of ownership.
