Thanks - I've seen that article, but it is 5 years old and I was looking for a definitive source - like the IRS or treasury regs. Publication 550 specifically says it does not apply to IRAs (see the into) and Pub 590A & B don't include any info regarding the payment of fees, so I'm at a loss as to where this rule "lives." I'm not concerned with the deductibility rules, but more concerned about fees for other non-IRA accounts being deducted from IRAs. Thanks for all the help though!! I appreciate it.
