I figured out a way to do it, but I'm not sure it is correct. What I did was go to Forms and open 1040/1040 SR Wks. I scrolled down to the Schedule 1 section and went to Part III "Adjustments to Income". Under line 21 in the section "Other Adjustments to Income Smart Worksheet", I went to Line H and wrote in "Legal Fees to sue the City of XYZ" and added the legal fee amount to the right. The information is then carried forward to Schedule 1 line 22 and is listed on the "......." line. The amount is then added to total for adjustments to income.
Is this the correct way to do it? I've also read "(please consult with your tax specialist about how to properly identify the deduction as specific acronyms exist for different deductions)." Is there a special acronym that I'm supposed to use to identify this? Thank you for your help. It is much appreciated.
