CA LLC Fee deduction

I have an LLC and I represent one client.

Every year the CA LLC fee amounts to $6,000, based on revenue.

My client reimburses me for this fee when I pay it.

 

However, and this is where I feel stupid, there's a section in TT where you can deduct this fee, other fees and taxes, and I just automatically entered the fee in that section.

 

I definitely feel I should not have been deducting it since I get it reimbursed. I assume I'm correct?

 

Doh!

    You shouldn't be deducting the fee IF you're getting reimbursed AND you're not reporting the reimbursement as income.

    So either I should not deduct or if I deduct I should report as income so that the IRS gets its money somehow?

    Right.....either don't deduct because it's a wash or report as income and then deduct the expense....which is also a wash.
