How do I deduct reimbursement for legal fees as part of a settlement of a discrimination claim as an above-the-line deduction using TurboTax online?

I received attorneys fees as part of a settlement for a discrimination claim.  I understand that the attorneys fees can be deducted "above-the-line" and not subject to the 2% rule.  How do I accomplish this using TT online version?

Unfortunately, you will need TurboTax for Desktop in order to report these legal fees above the line.

See this post for instructions, including how to switch to the desktop version:
