How do I input legal expenses in TurboTax to properly report them on Form 1040, Schedule 1, line 24(i)?

I already spoke with customer assistance and was told I needed a 'tax expert', which I do not. I know exactly where these expenses should be reported and just need to know how to input them in TurboTax to get them there.

Federal>Deductions and Credits>Other Deductions and Credits>Legal Fees

That is a good suggestion, but incorrect.  That results in my subset of legal expenses being non-deductible, when they are deductible pursuant to Sec. 62(a)(21)(A)(i).

I added them as a negative “other income” and described its offset in the provided box.
