0.25%-1.5%/yr
Can You Write Off Brokerage and Advisory Fees?
Short answer: No, investment management fees aren't deductible for individuals.
Trading commissions are added to cost basis instead.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
