I am considering using a credit card to pay the property taxes due on
2 of my rental properties. Doing so will allow me to meet the spending thresholds for a couple of frequent flyer benefits.It is also a (slightly) more convenient payment method than mailing a personal check (and never receiving an actual receipt) or paying in person.
The county tax office charges a 2.3% "convenience fee" for online credit card payments.
Under these circumstances, is the convenience fee deductible as part of the property tax payment?
