It still wasn't clear to me, then I found this from DavidHH. He directs you to the question "Enter Investment Advisor Fees" which populates line 24 of NYS IT-196. - Found where to input in Step by Step. It is input in the Federal Section under: Personal - Deductions & Credits -Retirement & Investments - Other Investment Expenses. Choose "Enter my Expenses". Then If you then go on and enter Investment Expenses, it will populate line 24 on NY Form IT-196
