Re: Legal fee deduction?

Thank you for answering my question. You stated that "assuming you will be paid as an employee, the legal fees you paid would be deductible". The position that I obtained was that of an independent contractor, not as an employee. How does that affect things?

Re: Legal fee deduction?

That's a huge difference. In this case, I would suggest that you would deduct these legal fees directly against your independent contractor ncome on a Schedule C.
