Officially TurboTax does not support the adjustment (or "above-the-line deduction") for attorney fees for an unlawful discrimination claim. It's listed in the Unsupported Calculations document. Nevertheless, it can be entered in TurboTax for 2024, but only in forms mode. Forms mode is available only in the desktop TurboTax software, not in TurboTax Online, so there is no way to make the entry in TurboTax Online. You would have to switch to the desktop TurboTax software. See the following FAQ for instructions. You can use any version of the desktop software.

How do I switch from TurboTax Online to TurboTax Desktop?

Here's how to enter the above-the-line deduction for attorney fees for an unlawful discrimination claim in desktop TurboTax for 2024. In forms mode open the "Form 1040 or Form 1040SR Worksheet" (1040/1040SR Wks). Scroll down to the Schedule 1 section (Additional Income and Adjustments to Income), then to Part II Adjustments to Income, and then to the Other Adjustments to Income Smart Worksheet between lines 23 and 24. Enter the attorney fees on line K of the Smart Worksheet. The deduction will then appear on Schedule 1 line 24h.

Refer to IRS Publication 525 for important additional information about this adjustment.
