If you are not a business, no the TurboTax fees are not deductible.

Can the amount I pay to turbo-tax be deducted?

No, the cost of TurboTax is generally not deductible on a federal return because the One Big Beautiful Bill Act made the suspension of miscellaneous itemized deductions permanent. 

 

However, if you are self-employed, a farmer, or a landlord, you can still deduct the portion of the software fee that specifically applies to preparing your business-related schedules as a  business expense.

 

Also, while many states followed the federal rules and eliminated this deduction, several others still allow you to deduct tax preparation fees if you itemize on your state return. Since state laws can change annually, check your specific state's instructions.
