Investopedia explains 'Bank Fees'

Bank fees are usually nondeductible, except for annual custodial fees charged by the bank for IRA accounts. Even checks that are used for tax records are nondeductible, unless the checks are written from a money market account with limited check-writing privileges, and violation of this privilege results in forfeiture of the account's money market status.
