Can You Write Off Estate Planning Fees?
Short answer: No, wills and trusts for personal planning aren't deductible.
Fees tied to tax advice for a business may be allocable.
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.
