My Lawyer fees for my SSDI (win) was $6000... As I have no other deductions factors but STANDARD I cannot claim this? This adds an additional substantial earned income (non-taxed) to my overall tax burden owed to the IRS, as my SSDI lump was not taxed either. So, the IRS will get earned income from both myself AND my Lawyer on this $6000? Something is amiss here. Unless my Lawyer is exempt, making me the one by tax-law design to bear the burden of paying the taxes on their earnings. That's not right.
