How do I enter my qualified legal expenses properly in Turbo Tax to get my deduction?

I know that my legal expenses qualify for a deduction, I'm already itemizing my deductions, and my legal expenses are greater than 2% of my AGI.  I know they are supposed to be recorded under "Miscellaneous Deductions" on Schedule A, but I can't find a way to input these expenses in a way that credits them as a deduction.

How do I enter my qualified legal expenses properly in Turbo Tax to get my deduction?

Legal fees are no longer deductible as a Miscellaneous Deduction on Schedule A starting with the 2018 tax return.

This is a result of the tax reform changes that were voted into law in December 2017.

Please see the following TurboTax article for more information.
