MargaretMort Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I want to be sure about this before I over-think myself. Client hired lawyer to contest SS for disability. The SSA-1099 shows net benefits of $46124. The description shows Attorney fees of $5300. The benefits include amounts paid for 2006,2007,2008. My question is: the attorney fees goes on Sch. A, Misc. deductions subject to 2%. Correct? I think mostly I don't think it should be subject to 2% but my reading indicates that it is. As always, thanks for all your help. All of you have such great helps this year. I can only say, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Unfortunately, I'm afraid that is where it goes. Also, don't forget to do the lump-sum averaging on that payout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargaretMort Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Thanks. I did the averaging. I'll get this return finished and sit back and enjoy traveling to visit friends and family this summer. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
