Thank you so much.
$6000 of the past-due benefits were paid to her attorney. I understand that this is deductible in the same percentage that her benefits are taxable. That is, she should be able to deduct 85% of $6000, or $5100. But where on the tax return is this deduction taken? If I understand correctly, all the Miscellaneous Deductions on Sch. A that were subject to the 2% "haircut" went away starting in 2018. Does this mean the attorney fee is no longer deductible?
Once again, thank you for your help!
