Complex trust final year. Taxpayer wants to take tax prep fees from P/y as a deduction.
I don't see any language that specifically excludes this in my research but I also don't see any language or a place in Lacerte to deduct it either. Can anyone weigh in on this please?

Yes, thank you. I am familiar with the Federal deduction. I am asking about the state of MA.
