**Tax Year 2018 or earlier** I was awarded attorneys fees during my divorce proceedings in addition to a portion of community property. Is the amount I received for attorneys fees taxable?

The legal fees you paid an attorney to collect alimony or for tax advice are deductible.  General divorce attorney fees are not.  

Click here for the IRS Publication that discusses legal fees that are deductible.  See page 10.  There is also a screenshot of the section linked below. 

Deductible attorney fees will be limited to a 2% threshold.  Here is more information on that:

They are not considered taxable income either.
