Fees related to estate planning are deductible only to the extent they relate to the production, or maintenance or the generation of taxable income, or if for tax advice or tax planning. 

  1. In the search box (upper right), type in legal expenses, deduction > Jump to legal expenses, deduction (include the comma)
  2. Program will take you directly to screen, Did you pay legal fees in 2017?  
  3. Click the images attached to enlarge and view for assistance.

If you have sought counsel for such matters, you will want to ensure that your invoice is itemized to indicate the cost of deductible services.  These fees would qualify as a miscellaneous itemized deduction on Schedule A.
