This is NOT a complete answer. Yes, Tax prep fees are no longer deductible on Federal Tax form but may be deductible on the state tax form. When I was preparing my federal tax, the area for entry of tax prep is gray and does not allow an entry. There is a note for considering possible entry of the tax prep fees in the state tax form which is most likely in the area which has the 2% limitation. The TurboTax AL State tax does not provide the step-by-step guidance as offered in the Federal Form. I would suggest TurboTax would consider consider allowing entry of tax prep fees in the Federal Form with transfer to the State Form and then notifying the preparer this deduction is NOT allowed on the Federal but may be allowed on the state. This is would be better method. Do you agree? Where would TurboTax check these line entries on the State 2% limit area to make sure it is allowed?
