Where do I locate Schedule 1 to report "above the line" attorney fee deductions?

[larryjbutler]

I need to deduct "above the line" attorney fees and costs related to discrimination and whistleblower actions.   I was informed that the deduction is considered a "write-in" adjustment reported on Schedule 1, Line 36.  Where do I locate Schedule 1 for completion?  What is the proper acronym used to describe deduction of these types of attorney fees and costs?  I understand that the attorney fee deduction reported on Schedule 1 will automatically be reported on Line 6 of my Form 1040.  Is my understanding regarding this correct?

Unfortunately, that is a situation that is not supported, however, with the CD/download version in the forms mode,  Line 36  on the 1040 worksheet "Other adjustments line H" it can be manually entered.   The online version have no provisions to do that.

With TurboTax that can only be done with the software installed on your computer.   You might be able to convince customer support to switch you to the desktop version.   I don't know if they would or not.

Here is a TurboTax FAQ for contacting customer support.

Would it be easier for me to just purchase a TurboTax Premier CD locally and transfer the information from the downloaded 1040 version that I have started?

You could do that.

Do you know the proper acronym to use with Schedule 1 to report these attorney fees and costs?  I understand that the attorney fee deduction reported on Schedule 1 will automatically be reported on Line 6 of my Form 1040.  Is my understanding regarding this correct if I purchase the CD version of Premier TurboTax?

Enter as UDC-  The Schedule 1 line 36 will be subtracted form the 1040 line 7 AGI.
