Can early withdrawal fee from qualified Annuity upon transferring money into IRA account be entered into TurboTax as Other Investment Expenses?

[T2000]

I have transferred money from qualified Annuity Plan into IRA account at the same financial organization and the early withdrawal fee on the full withdrawal from the Annuity was assessed. Is this fee deductible under the other investment expenses?

Surrender charges on a qualified annuity are not tax-deductible, but you might be able to deduct an IRA loss.

Take a look at this article on this subject.  You would have had to cash out the IRA totally and then if the amount in it, was less than the basis, you could possibly have a loss.  

Sorry about that.

Here is a link on the article I was referring to:
