Tax Law (Questions About Taxes)/comm. chargebacks

Question
I work on 100% comm. And if clients don't make 6 monthly payments I get "charged back" on the money I was already taxed on.  Is this tax deductible and if so what form?

Answer
Hi,

If the income and the charge back occur in the same year, it would not be deductible.  If the income occurs in one year and the charge back in the following year, it would be deductible as an itemized deduction on Schedule A.

Regards,
Carole
