Are amounts held back from gross proceeds of stocks towards legal/litigation fees a deductible expense? If yes, where in the tax return can I claim the deduction?

Thanks George! I did check google as well, also looked up tax GPT. I was hoping to see if anyone else has dealt with a similar situation and how it was handled.

I would need more information, but my gut reaction would be where you put advisor fees - Schedule A, miscellaneous which doesn't exist anymore for that.
You might lay out a description that might support an addition to basis.
