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

Posted by Business Plan as Investment

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!

Investment fees are a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to the 2% AGI limit. Claim them on Schedule A.

If you have any tax-exempt income, you must prorate the fees between taxable and tax-exempt as only fees on taxable investments can be itemized.
