Where to put allowed job related legal expenses?? Page 5 of Publication 529 says these are an exception and they are deductible. How do I claim them??

My expenses were incurred to defend my self against complaints filed by my employer against my license as well as in keeping my job.  Publication 529 says these are deductible exceptions.  Where do I put them to get credit on my return?

Legal expenses are deductible if you are resolving tax issues related to profit or loss from business on your Schedule C; or for rentals or royalties, Schedule E; or farm income and expenses on Schedule F.  Expenses for resolving non business tax issues are miscellaneous itemized deductions and are no longer deductible.

 2018 Publication 529 page 5...The paragraph above the one you quoted reads....You can deduct legal expenses that are related to doing or keeping your job, such as those you paid to defend yourself against criminal charges arising out of your trade or business.. (Cut and Pasted) Where do you put this in Turbo Tax???
