Advisory fees are not deducible any more, same for 1041s as for 1040s(former miscellaneous deductions still allowed I some states).

I have seen many bank as trustee 1099s which allocate legal and accounting fees between taxable and tax-exempt income. I do that also.

The tax deduction does reduce taxable income to either the trust or the beneficiary.
