We closed in mid June on our house.

DH and I were using Turbo Tax this past weekend and they asked how much we paid in Real Estate Tax in 2011.

Our lender paid our bill from escrow on 12/15/11. So that's one amount.

My question is, do we claim the amount of real estate tax that we paid/reimbursed the seller at closing? Or did they technically pay that amount?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
