We use a fee schedule and can calculate precisely how much
of our fee each year was related to a business form like
Schedule C, E, or F on the 1040. The following year we claim
that amount as professional fees on that particular
Schedule.

I break it down roughly, but I don't get too scientific
about it. <g> Mainly, I just make sure that some reasonable
portion of the fee (typically at least $100) is claimed on
Schedule A. In my scheme, rental properties or other
business activities are usually "good" for $100/each, but a
larger amount can go on Schedule C if significant
bookkeeping/accounting was involved.

Your own 1040.

ONLY on your schedule A, 1040. One of the things I see
quite often is another preparer taking all fees paid
accountants as a business expense, whether on schedule c
(mostly), 1065, or 1120(s). I just wonder how many other tax
practioners break the 1040 fee down as to amounts paid for
schedule c or e for use inpreparing the next year's tax
return?

Best way here is to turn in your business mileage monthly to
the partnership and get the business to cut you a check for
miles x 36 cents.

I am in a general partnership (with one partner and the
profits/losses pass through to my partner and myself) and I
understand that I can claim my insurance premiums, but not
my medical expenses (doctor visit co-pays, meds, etc)...is
this correct? If so where do I claim the insurance
premiums?.... on my personal or my partnership return (also
what form do I claim it on)?

#2-I had my taxes prepared last year, where can I claim the
cost of the tax prep? On my 1065? if so, what line?

#3-Where do I claim mileage for business related travel?

Thanks so much for all of the advice!
