Can I deduct the cost for electronically filing last year's federal and state returns? Where?

[mpmcc1492]

Filing electronically involves a payment. Is it deductible? Where would the deduction be entered?

[Coleen3]

The fee for having your refund withheld from your return is not a filing fee and it is not deductible.

[KiaraE · Accepted solution]

Yes you can. It is considered a itemized deduction. The instructions to add these costs are below:

• Make sure you are logged into your account
• Click Federal Taxes
• Click Deductions and Credits
• Under Other Deductions and Credits
• Click I'll Choose What I Want to Work On
• Click Start next to Tax Preparation Fees.

This is where this information can be added.
