Hi, I have a foreign rental property that I rented out the first time. I paid 1/2 months rent to the broker as commission for 6 months rental which to my understanding tax deductible from the rental income. However, I also paid my uncle for showing the property and for being my attorney in fact to rent my property which is six thousand miles away from the United States. Can I deduct the fees I paid my uncle, in addition to the comission I paid to the agent?
