FAQ

In general, attorney fees are deductible when incurred relating to profit or loss for a business. For example, the cost of hiring a lawyer to defend a patent or negotiate a contract is a deductible attorney fee, since these expenses are ordinary and necessary for the production of income.

Attorney fees paid in the course of your trade or business for services an attorney renders to you are reported in box 1 of Form 1099-NEC. Gross proceeds paid to an attorney in connection with legal services (but not for the attorney's services) are reported in box 10 of Form 1099-MISC.

In general, if a lawyer receives a fee, part of which the lawyer then pays to co-counsel, the lawyer must issue Forms 1099 to the co-counsel. If you practice in an incorporated law firm, the law firm is exempt from 1099 requirements along with other corporations.
