    Bankruptcy court costs for dissolved S-Corp

    Client paid $37000 to bankruptcy court last year related to S-Corp that she was a shareholder of that was dissolved in 2002. Are these payments deductible as a capital loss against the stock of the S-Corp? Or, maybe, are they deductible on Sch. A as legal fees?

      Not to mention the $16,000 in '05 they didn't tell me about

      They'll have carrovers forever. I was hoping we could find some way to use this against ordinary income, but I haven't found the first thing yet that would lead me in that direction.
