Investment Fees on Illinois tax return
I'm finding conflicting information about whether I can deduct my tax advisor fees on my IL tax return. I realize that after 2017 you can no longer do that FEDERALLY, but I am wondering about on my STATE return specifically. I called Turbotax and the rep chatted with a CPA who was finding conflicting information on this in her research. The Turbotax software has a section for IL that says "you can reduce your Illinois income by the amount of expenses used to maintain investments that are not subject to tax on your federal return, but are taxable in Illinois. Also, include expenses you couldn't deduct on your federal return because you took a federal credit related to those expenses." So if I paid a 1% fee to my financial advisor to manage a traditional IRA and a 1% fee to manage a separate roth IRA are those management fees deductible? If so is that total amount what I would enter in this section?
Thank you!
