Where do I enter Financial Advisior fees?

Brokerage advisory fees or financial advisory fees are deductible as a miscellaneous deduction on Schedule A, and must be greater than 2% of your adjusted gross income. To navigate to the section:

  • Select Federal from the left navigation pane, then Deductions & Credits
  • Scroll to Retirement and Investments section
  • Select Other Investment Expenses
