As long as the fees were not for a retirement account, they can be included in other miscellaneous itemized expenses.  The total of these is only allowed to the extent it exceeds 2% of your adjusted gross income.  In addition, your total itemized deductions would need to exceed the standard deduction.  Please see the instructions below for entering these expenses.
