So, fees for services like business planning sessions, commercial litigation, and trademark research and rights acquisition are likely tax deductible.
You can even pre-pay attorney’s fees for 2017 calendar year and deduct those fees from your 2016 taxable year.
Some of our popular tax-deductible legal services include contract drafting and contract review, real estate closing for a commercial property or for a business that buys and sells residential real estate, business incorporation services, business tax preparation, and business immigration.
