Question

Professional Fees deductible on Form 1041

I am a bit unsure as to what professional fees are deductible on the 1041 Estate income tax return.

I have a flat legal fee that covered the attorney setting up the estate, getting the Letters Testamentary, filing the SS-4 for the Estate EIN number, and preparing and filing the Pennsylvania Inheritance tax return. Additionally, I have Probate Fees, Legal Advertising fees, postage, and Turbo tax software purchase.

Are all of these fees deductible on the 1041?

Also, are Pennsylvania state Inheritance taxes deductible?

PA state inheritance tax would not be deductible on Form 1041.

All of the other fees you mentioned are deductible on Form 1041.
