Should I enter the same tax preparation fee twice?

When I report tax and mortgage situation of my house, I see Turbotax wants me to enter the tax preparation fee during 2019. But I see there is another independent section also wants me to enter the tax preparation fee. I only filed tax for once. Should I enter the same tax preparation fee twice?

We cannot see what version of TurboTax you are using.  No, you do not double enter anything.  Once is enough.  Unless you are self-employed and entering tax prep fees on your schedule C, you do not get a federal deduction for tax preparation any more.  The tax laws changed for 2018 and beyond for that.
