Can I deduct what I paid 910.00 to the Federal Government for last years tax return and also paid an accountant for help, is there any way to deduct these?

I paid 500.00 for tax prep in 2024 can that be deducted?

No, federal taxes are not deductible.

As far as tax prep, miscellaneous itemized deductions are no longer deductible for federal purposes, but there are a few states that allow them. Check your specific state's instructions to see if they allow miscellaneous itemized deductions.

Generally tax return preparation fees are not deductible. However, if you’re self-employed or own a business, tax preparation fees directly related to your business operations remain deductible. This includes fees for preparing: Schedule c , E or F, 4835. Income taxes you paid to the Federal government aren't deductible.
