When an S Corp purchases a residential rental property are the closing costs deductible as an expense on form 8825?

They are added to the cost of the property.

Has anyone discussed with you the ramifications of holding rental property in an S Corp entity?

No. That has not been brought up. I am following the prior year taxes and how the client purchased the home. What are the pitfalls?

S Corps require Payroll for the employees in this business for the work they perform. That's the first problem I like to point out.

@sjrcpaon a similar topic, provided this info:

"Never put real estate in a corporation.

 

Also most RE deals are structured so that someone gets more than their ownership % of cash distributions, income, etc. Can't do that in an S Corp."
