It does not make sense that you have to pay for an attorney whose income you have to claim? Basically aren’t you claiming his income and having to pay tax on it? Does the attorney have to claim this as income too? This seems very unfair and there should be a way to at least not have to claim his money as your income. Social Security pays the attorney before they pay you correct? I can understand that you are paying him for his services but since you do not even see that money I would think it would be handled differently. Did you ever find a work around for this? How did you handle it?
