Broker's Fee Tax-Deductible for Renter??

I do not beleive it is tax deductible. Renters don't have tax deductions the last time I checked.

You might be able to pull it off once as part of job-related moving expenses, but only if you're coming in from outside of the city, I think.

Per IRS:
"You will meet the distance test if your new workplace is at least 50 miles further from your former home than your previous workplace was from that home. For example, if your old job was 5 miles from your former home, your new job must be at least 55 miles from that home."

With a little creative accounting you might get away with it.

But why pay a fee? Try nybits.com. There is absolutely no reason to pay a broker's fee in this market.
