Costs you pay to an accountant to prepare your tax returns are a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to the 2% rule. That deduction was eliminated from federal taxes for 2018 through 2025. I believe you can still list the expenses in TurboTax, because some states follow the old rules about itemized deductions, and after you list the deductions in the federal section, they will flow downhill to the state return. But they won’t be deductible on your federal return. And you may not receive any benefit on your state tax return, depending on the total amount of your itemized deductions and your income.
