I did result in a monthly disability award that is taxable income to me. That began in 2015. The lawyer fees for 2016 have been in responding to the insurance company in review of whether or not they will continue to pay benefits after the two year mark (disability definitions change) and attending their independent medical exams & legal fees incorporated with videographers at these exams. If I am reading things correctly, I should still be able to deduct these fees charged by my lawyer for 2016 as they are associated with keeping my disability (taxable income) benefits. Am I reading this correctly?
