The alert is telling you that it is unusual for food delivery service to pay legal or other fees.  

 

It may not be correct for you to claim all of your tax return fees as a business expense.  Since there is not a breakdown in the part of the fee that was used to file the Schedule C on its own, the only way you can claim the tax return fee as a business expense is if you could have filed your return for free if you did not have to include your Schedule C, as stated by RoberB4444.  

 

However, if you would have had to pay a fee to file your return in 2024 anyway even if there was not a Schedule C for DoorDash, then you cannot claim the TurboTax fee as a business expense.
