Get your taxes done using TurboTax
No, not on Form 1040.
According to IRS Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions,
Investment fees, custodial fees, trust administration fees, and other expenses you paid for managing your investments that produce taxable income are miscellaneous itemized deductions and are no longer deductible.
Although these expenses are no longer deductible on your federal return, some states allow you to deduct them on your state return.
The TurboTax program will figure out if these expenses can affect your state return and do the calculations for you.
