Capitalizing legal fees related to realestate lawsuit
Last year I had about $60k in legal fees, which I classified as a business expense. Should I have capitalized the $60k (or a part of the $60k)?
I sold the land related to the legal-fees/lawsuit and am now going to have to pay capital gains.
Should I amend my 1040 and capitalize the fees?
