Deductions & credits

If you are confident that your legal expenses are deductible and you are an employee so you can't deduct them on a Sch C, this is a work around:

Go to Income>Choose what to work on>Less Common Income>Misc income at bottom of the window>Other Reportable Income at bottom of widow>answer "Yes">Enter a description like "deductible legal expenses" and enter your expense as a negative number.  This will go to Sch 1 of the F. 1090 and deduct that amount from your AGI.
