Every broker I've used has always deducted trading fees from the profit reported.
Thanks, checked 1099-B. Yes, fees are deducted. So nothing to do for me.Are you sure the trading fees aren't already included in your stock gain/loss? When I've sold stocks and ETF's, the listed proceeds have a few cents deducted for the required fees. Back when there was a broker fee, that too was already deducted in the amount reported as proceeds. At tax time, the 1099 would thus already have included the fees.
