My brother has a trucking company, which was unable to pay for business related expenses this past year. I paid over 4000 dollars. Can I deduct this? If so, where. ThankU

He is a nondependent.

[jerry2000 · Accepted solution]

Sorry, no. That is not deductible.

[gobind]

Thank you, he also lived with me for ~2 months. However his business made over 4 thousant too. Does this change anything?

[jerry2000]

Unfortunately, it does not change anything. It is not deductible at all.

[gobind]
