Legal Question in Tax Law in Georgia

My publisher informed me that her company pays my editor for my editing my books. But she lists the fee on my statement as if I indeed did pay the editor. She informed me that she does that to give me a write-off for my taxes. Is that legal or is it setting me up for tax fraud?
