ambrattan,
The answer is no for federal and maybe for state. For the federal return refer to IRS publication 529 (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p529.pdf) which states on page 4 under the category expenses that are not deductible:
Legal fees related to producing or collecting taxable income or getting tax advice.
Tax advice fees.
Tax preparation fees.
However, those expenses may be itemized deductions in some states such as my own California. It depends upon whether the state converted to match the federal changes a couple years ago.
