grandmabee Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 can we take the attorney fees for getting disablity SS according to the % of taxable SS income on Sch A 2% ? Yes we can take the attorney fee's for getting taxable SS. So am I right that only the same % of taxable to non taxable SS is how much of the attorney fees we take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacun Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 That is how I would treat it, much like allocating trustee fees between taxable and non-taxable income. What do you think of this? If your client is permanently disabled and (let's say) 40 years old, you should amortize attorney expenses for the next 25-28 years, right? How about on years that your SS is not taxable?

Lion EA Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Please don't say that aloud. The IRS might be listening and decide that's a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
