How do I deduct investment advisory fees paid for professional investment services on my 2008 federal taxes?

Posted in United States
dar asked:


What form do I use?
Is there a limit to the fees (I payed about $8K for investment fees)?
Do the fees get bundled into other “deductoins” so that I have to meet a threshold of expenses?

Thanks all!

What is the best way to handle large investment losses on my taxes?

Posted in United States
Ed R asked:


I really screwed up and have over $50,000 in investment losses this year! Our gross income from salaries for this year will only be around $50,000.

In addition, I lost $5000 in my Roth IRA. I just read that I can only deduct $3,000 in investment losses. Does that include IRAs PLUS regular investment activities?

Also, will any interest I accrue via CDs or dividends from stocks or mutual funds essentially be tax-free now since I have such a large investment loss? Or is that a different category?

Please help, I really screwed up this year and am hoping somebody has some suggestions to make this better. Thanks in advance!

10 years ago I defaulted on a car loan, and still owe the finance company $7000, which I’m planning on paying now. Can the finance company take my tax return, or only if I owe FEDERAL AGENCIES?
The case went to court, and I was in another state at the time, so judgment was awarded to the finance company.
