I know legal fees are generally no longer deductible. However, I have legal fees that relate to regaining my job. From the IRS pub 529, "You can deduct legal expenses that are related to doing or keeping your job". I also know that suing for discrimination is deductible. My questions is "how?". Where in TurboTax do you record this? Other sources indicate that for 2018: "Taxpayers filing Form 1040 for 2018 wishing to take an “above the line” deduction for their attorney’s fees related to discrimination suits or whistleblower awards must attach Schedule 1. The deduction will be considered a “write-in” adjustment. The type and amount of the deduction must be reported on the dotted line of Schedule 1, Line 36, since no other line has been allocated to it (please consult with your tax specialist about how to properly identify the deduction as specific acronyms exist for different deductions). All deductions from Schedule 1 will then flow to Line 6 of the taxpayers’ Form 1040."
How do I do this for 2019 taxes using Turbotax? There doesn't appear to be any Line 36 that is available. Thank you for your help.
