As Tax Champ @ee-ea says you can subtract legal fees paid for unlawful discrimination claims. You will need to move to TurboTax CD/Download.
How do I switch from TurboTax Online to TurboTax CD/Download?
Here's how to do it:
- Select Forms in the top right
- In the left column (Forms in My Return) tap Schedule 1
- Highlight line 24h and tap the magnifying glass
- Scroll up to the Other Adjustments to Income Smart Worksheet between lines 23 and 24
- Enter your amount on line K
You may be able to deduct, as an adjustment to income on your Schedule 1 (Form 1040), attorney fees and court costs for actions settled or decided after October 22, 2004, involving a claim of unlawful discrimination, a claim against the U.S. Government, or a claim made under section 1862(b)(3)(A) of the Social Security Act.
However, the amount you can deduct on your Schedule 1 (Form 1040), is limited to the amount of the judgment or settlement you are including in income for the tax year.
