Just wanted to find out if attorney fees are deductible under Sch A, misc. deduction for a loan modification?

Thanks

Wouldn't this fall under the same category as attorney fees for either refinance or acquisition??? I don't think you can deduct them.

To the extent the fees can be allocated to acquiring taxable income (such as cancellation of debt) they would be deductible.
