Really, guys? There's no way for me to know much I paid for your services last year. My "Orders" section (as listed in your documentation) doesn't exist.

Your help section says this:
"If you used TurboTax online last year, you can find what you paid by signing into your My TurboTax account and checking under Orders."

Well, unfortunately you over simplified everything and there are hardly any menus or options anywhere. Surprising that *too simple* is a complaint, but it's the truth.

I'll tell you how to look up your prior-year TurboTax fees below.  Are you asking in regards to deducting the fees on your 2016 return?

If you are taking a standard deduction and not itemizing deductions, it won't count.  If you are itemizing deductions, it may or may not count.  Tax preparation fees are in the category "Miscellaneous deductions subject to the 2% of AGI floor".  So it may not count there unless you have a lot of other miscellaneous deductions such that the total exceeds 2% of AGI, and even then only if you have enough other types of deductions such that you can itemize deductions..

Or are you allocating a portion of the fees as business/rental expenses for preparing Schedule C,E,F, etc.?

That having been said, see this:
