Deductions & credits

No.

For multiple reasons:

1. Starting in 2018 investment expense deductions  are no longer allowed.

2. You are not allowed to put expenses paid in 2017, on your 2018 tax return.

3. To be deductible the expense must have been paid with money outside of the IRA.

If you meet #3 (and most people don't) and you itemized deductions and you have enough other misc itemized deduction to jump the 2% of AGI threshold, you may file an amended 2017 return to claim the deduction.
