Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I am relating a post from user rjs who provides fairly thorough instructions on how to enter the information in the desktop version.  You would need to manually enter it.  The online edition does not support this entry.  See the instructions above.

 

Please also continue to read:

With the new tax reform TCJA,  it eliminates miscellaneous itemized deductions including the legal fees. Prior to the 2017 Act, you could deduct legal fees that were greater than 2% of your adjusted gross income as a miscellaneous expense. However, not anymore after 2017.  However, there are still some legal fees that might qualify for an above-the-line deduction against your gross income like discrimination or Trade & Business related.
