There's no 1040 Worksheet in 2017 TurboTax. The 1040 Worksheet was added for 2018. To enter the adjustment in 2017 TurboTax, go to forms mode and open Form 1040. Scroll down to the "Other Adjustments to Income Smart Worksheet" between lines 35 and 36. Enter the attorney's fees on line H of the Smart Worksheet. In the text entry box on the left side, right after the H, enter UDC. Enter the amount in the space on the right. The letters UDC and the amount will then appear on the dotted line to the left of the amount on line 36, and the fees will be added to any other amount that was already on line 36. Enter the amount as a positive number. It will be subtracted from your income.

 

Note that for 2017 the adjustment is made on line 36 of Form 1040. There is no Schedule 1 for 2017.
