We hired a lawyer to do our legal separation. In "other deductions" it says I can claim this, but I don't see a place to enter the information.

    Legal and court costs related to separation are not deductible by either party involved. Please see this TurboTax article for more information on what legal fees can be claimed: Legal Costs Relating to a Breakdown in Marriage
