How to I report "above the line" deductions from a 1099-Misc reported income from a class action employment lawsuit settlement?

Recently, as part of a class action employment lawsuit, I received a 1099-Misc form reporting lawyer fees as income.  These are supposed to be "above the line" deductions (see codes 62(A)(20) and 62(E)).  How do I deduct these from my income?
