The previous business's assets were sold 5 years ago. The
lease still is legally in my name (as an individual, not as
a corporation), but the new tenants refused to pay.
Currently there is a lawsuit with a large sum of legal
expenses related to this business. 1) Are the legal
expenses deductable? If so where? (C or 2106) 2) If I am to
pay the lease payments, are those deductable even if the
time those fees were charged, I had no intention of
conducting business?
