Hello, Hope this answers your question 🙂

There are a number of legal fees that you may be able to claim as deductions on your tax return when filing. Not all legal fees paid during a tax year qualify, so it's important to understand the eligibility of your fees before attempting to claim them.

The following list describes some of these instances, and also provides instruction on how to claim these deductions within TurboTax:

Income tax preparations

Employment

Self-employment

Child support payments

Retiring allowance or pension benefit

Rental properties

Adoption
