Form 1041 Estates: Donations and Fees

[nosillo2]

Can probate fees be deducted under deductions on form 1041?  I see attorney, etc.  Can estate donations of household items given to Salvation Army be deducted? 

Thanks

The estate can deduct probate fees and costs on Form 1041.

The estate can NOT deduct charitable contributions that are not authorized by the will (or trust) and are not made from gross income of the estate.

Where on form 1041 to include probate fees?  Is it under attorney, accountant line?

Thanks for your help.
