For your business, attorneys' fees paid to secure taxable income are deductible as Legal and Professional Fees.

In TurboTax Self-Employed, you can enter them in the Business section under Business Expenses > Other Common Business Expenses > Legal & Professional Fees (see attached screenshot). Describe them as Legal fees.
