It depends -
The IRS
basic rule is that you can deduct attorney's fees you pay to:
- produce or collect taxable
income, or
- help determine, collect, or
obtain a refund of any tax.
Simply
put, you can take a deduction if you need an attorney's help to make money
you’ll have to pay tax on; or if an attorney helps you with a tax matter, like
representing you in an IRS audit.
