Legal fees
can be deducted to the extent your income is taxable. For instance, if 50% of your income is taxable, then 50% of legal fees
are deductible.
To
deduct legal fees, you must itemize deductions on Schedule A, and the sum total
of your miscellaneous deductions including your legal fees must exceed 2%
of your Adjusted Gross Income.
Given the above
limitations you may not be able to benefit from your legal expenses.
