#R:bunker:-33100:ihlpf:15600003:000:482 ihlpf!mlrey Feb 1 12:43:00 1984 Attorney's fees, closing fees, other fees, and professional estimator fees are, as indicated in previous responses, not deductible as expenses for buying a house. However, if you met the requirements for moving expenses as a result of moving to the house in question, I believe that some, if not all of those fees are deductible under moving expenses. I, likewise, am not a tax professional, but did deduct some attorneys fees as part of a job-related move. See publication 17.
