Newbie here. I'm looking at the Schedule E Form and trying to fit my expenses into the categories. I see "Advertising". Is this where I would expense Background Check fees? Thanks in advance!

What is the nature of the background checks? Tenant related or on a potential business partner?
My CPA expensed my background checks on the legal expense portion of my taxes. However these were background checks my LLC did on a potential equity partner prior to working with them. FOr tenant background checks i would assume it goes either under legal or other.

Thanks for the response. I think I've figured it out: I'm talking about background checks for potential tenants, so I think it likely fits into the "Advertising" section on the IRS Schedule E Form. I see that you are from Chi-town. How I miss it! Also, Igbo? I have friends in Lagos and Jos -small world, no?
