Can you tell me if I paid a fee to use turbo tax in 2018?

If you used anything other than the FREE version, you did pay a fee for TurboTax.  You can sign into your account and check your order history or your bank statement to get the exact amount.  You can enter the amount, but before you go searching too deep, please note that the deduction rules have changed.

Unless you’re self-employed, tax preparation fees are no longer deductible in tax years 2018 through 2025. Self-employed taxpayers can still write off their tax prep fees as a business expense.

Prior to 2018, taxpayers who weren’t self-employed were allowed to claim tax prep fees as a 2% miscellaneous deduction. However, few taxpayers were able to take advantage of this deduction due to the restrictive conditions of the 2% rule.  You can still enter the amount in TurboTax in the event it is still allowed on your state return.
