Deductions & credits

No.  Legal fees are not deductible under current tax law unless it is specifically to do or keep your current job or related to business, farming or investments. 

 

Since this was a class action suit, you would not be able to take a deduction for the attorneys fees as this would be considered a personal nondeductible expense.
