Are Virginia State Transfer Taxes deductible when filing Virginia State Income Taxes?

I don't think you can deduct them as "taxes", as they are considered a cost of selling or buying  property, but you can add them to your tax basis if you are the buyer, or use them as an expense of sale to reduce the amount realized if you are the seller.  I am not a tax lawyer but this is what I have been over the years.  Call the Virginia Department of Taxation and they should be able to give you the right answer.
