Our Tax professional says no. That fee is similar to a legal fee for other services which also is not deductible. The tax mod company should have refunded the fee if they were not successful like most reputable companies do.

I do not believe they are, but you should really discuss with your tax accountant.

Not deductible. Also, if the company is not reputable, I would report them. Did you sign an disclosure agreement concerning their fees?
