No, and neither is the interest. It makes no difference what steps or methods of collection were used to get you to pay. If anything, actions done under legal persuasion are LESS tax deductible as the payor should get no benefit from what the courts had to impose. That would be against the public good.

Is Nebraska sales tax deductible for small business owners?

If you charge tax on the products/services you sell, the customer pays the sales tax and the business passes the tax onto the state/municipality. If the business buys supplies for use in the business (and not for resale) you will pay sales tax and the entire cost of the supplies will be deductible to the business. If you buy the same supplies from out of state and do not pay Nebraska sales tax, you should pay Nebraska use tax and that amount is also deductible to the business. If the business buys supplies that go into making a product for resale, you should not pay sales tax on the purchase of those supplies.


Are condominium fees tax deductible?

When you live in a condominium, you pay assessments which your board budgets each year to pay operational expenses for the community. These expenses are not typically tax deductible by an owner who occupies a unit. In your state, in your tax situation, best practices dictate that you consult with your tax attorney to identify whether or not assessments are deductible from your tax bill. Optional fees, such as amenities-use fees may be treated differently by your tax adviser in your situation, especially if you pay the fees for the benefit of a tenant and your condominium is an investment and not your home.
