Get your taxes done using TurboTax

All of your expenses related to the legal fees (except the mileage) can be lumped together and claimed as a miscellaneous expense or a professional fee expense.  

 

Your mileage will need to be entered in the Vehicle Expenses section where you will include additional information about the use of your vehicle such as the total miles driven for the year and the miles driven for business (rental) purposes.  Be sure also that you have a log of the miles that were driven in order to document the expense.  It would not be correct to simply take your miles and multiply it by the IRS rate and claim an expense for that amount.
