I'm so glad I came across your posts.  I also thought it did not make sense that even legal fees paid directly to attorneys are taxable to taxpayers who never received that amount.  And TT instructions clearly state legal fees for employment discrimination are deductible.  I tried to follow your instructions, and was able to deduct the fees.  Although the line # for 2025 for attorney fees is different from the time of your post , I was able to locate it after a bit of struggle.   It definitely is very concerning when "experts" dispense wrong instructions.     Thank you!  Hope others benefit from your post.

If the full FTC was not used in 2024, regardless of the amount, Form 1116 needs to be filed to be able to carry forward the unused FTC, so you need to amend. However, if the FTC was $300 or less ($600 on a joint return ) the full amount should have been allowed by not filling Form 1116. 

The correct tax accounting depends on how you handled the LLC inventory. If you threw it out, the ending inventory is $0. You get a deduction for the loss. If it was transferred to the sole proprietorship, for the LLC, you must indicate it was withdrawn for personal purposes. The ending inventory for the LLC would still be $0 but no loss. On the SP you list the same amount as a purchase.  Other scenarios are possible, but we would need details of what you did with the LLC inventory
