If you're meaning deductible on schedules c or e, then nope.
It would/could only be a schedule a deduction, since it has
nothing to do with business or rental/royalty income.

Retiree, retirement funds primarily in TIAA-CREF
(non-annuitized), some consulting, rental and royalty
income. IRS return each year includes Schedules C and E.

I've been assuming that most direct out-of-pocket expenses
for "managing" our finances ought to be deductible as
business expenses -- e.g., $30 in notary fees for mandatory
notarizing of wife's signature in several places on forms
needed to make annual mandatory minimum withdrawals from
husband's TIAA-CREF account.

Correct?
