Yes, bounced check charges can be deducted, and no, they can't. As one of the expenses of doing business, businesses can deduct bounced check charges for checks bounced by customers. But as an individual, it isn't possible to deduct charges that are assessed by businesses and banks for bounced checks. According to the tax code, you can't receive a tax benefit from an illegal activity, and bounced checks are considered illegal.

Bounced check fees from a bank?

Bounced check fees are fees that are charged for the writing of a check when the account holder from whence the check is drawn has insufficient funds to cover the amount of the check. These fees are set by each bank and can vary from bank to bank. If an account holder feels that they have been incorrectly assessed a fee, most banks will allow the account holder to explain the situation and can void the fee on a case by case basis.

If a customer's check bounces due to insufficient funds what can you do other than hire a lawyer?

You can file either criminal or civil charges. Go to your local police dept for criminal charges or to your local small claims court for the civil action to collect the check. Either remedy works. I always tell people to consult their local attorney when a legal remedy is needed. Call the customer to be certain that they know the check bounced; give them a second chance to make good on it--that day. Most local governments have a reporting office for bounced checks.
