Chapter 13 Involving Tax Debt - Legal Fee / Tax Preparation Deduction

I am currently in a Chapter 13 repayment plan.  A significant portion of the plan involves tax debt and liability for taxes.  This tax year my attorney had most of his legal fees disbursed to him from the trust, and I have heard that because the Chapter 13 proceedings involve taxes and tax debt I can deduct his fees.  Is this correct?  If so, is it a legal fee deduction or a tax preparation deduction?  I've read IRS publication 908 multiple times and can't seem to figure this one out.

 

Thank you!
