Schedule CA 540 - line 21 - unrecognized sum

TurboTax Premiere Online:
Generated my California Schedule CA 540. And line 21 Other expenses: investment, safe deposit box, etc.
The system entered a sum with description "Atty/Accnt".
Which sounds like a fee for attorney or accountant?..

I can't find anywhere on my taxes the amount that shows in this box - besides my total Robinhood IRA contributions (which I am not able to deduct from federal because of income limits)
where is line 21 sum and description come from?

The amount on CA Form 540 Line 21 for other expenses may represent fees for consulting, professional services, or other miscellaneous fees and services. The description is a software abbreviation that may not directly relate to the expense you entered. The amount may be a total, not a single entry.
