LUMP SUM FROM SSDA WHERE DO I PUT ATTORNEY FEES AT

[Marketstar · Accepted solution]

Legal fees can be deducted to the extent your income is taxable. For instance, if 50% of  your income is taxable, then 50% of legal fees are deductible.

To deduct legal fees, you must itemize deductions on Schedule A, and the sum total of your miscellaneous deductions including your legal fees must exceed 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income.

Given the above limitations you may not be able to benefit from your legal expenses.
