According to IRS guidance, buyer commission rebates are generally
treated as a reduction in the purchase price, not taxable income.
This means the cash back you receive at closing is tax-free.
IRS
Revenue Ruling 2005-28 and Revenue Procedure 2005-13 confirm that
commission rebates are considered adjustments to the purchase price
rather than taxable income.
ApartmentsExpert provides the 75% commission rebate to buyers throughout:
