  • 1.  Is Placement Fee paid to invest in PE fund deductible

    Posted 04-15-2022 09:46 AM
    I have a client who paid over an 8% placement fee to invest in a private equity fund as LP. Is the $20k placement fee tax-deductible on his 1040 or in NYS? 

    I know this is crunch time so your reply is appreciated.

    I believe the placement fee is added to the cost of the investment and realized on disposition of the investment therefore not currently deductible.

    It is my opinion that the placement fee is added to the investment and realized upon sale of the investment and not currently deductible.
