to add to this thread. What if you are a licensed attorney but dont practice law. Can you received a referral fee at your other business. Ex I own a restuarant; i am an attorney and I receive a referral fee from an attorney. How does that work?

Docket -

I would structure the referral fee different. If the payment is made to a restuarant then it will look like a payment to a non-attorney.

The payment should be made to the attorney personally if the attorney doesnt have a law office and then the attorney can report it separatly on the tax return.

I just it can work either way, just I would keep it separate so that you dont have any trouble.
