Since you referenced Publication 502 Medical and Dental Expenses,
I am assuming that your daughter attended a school for medical purposes and that you have reviewed the requirements for
those costs to be deductible. If my assumptions are incorrect and you need help to determine whether your expenses are deductible, please add more information about your situation.
As you go through the Medical
Expense section of your tax return, there will be several questions and
categories of expenses to enter. At the
end, you will find a screen titled, “Tell
us about any other medical expenses” which will allow you to enter a
description and amount. If you have
multiple items to enter into this section, just click the blue “+ Add Another Expense” link and more
boxes will open.
To go directly to the Medical
Expense section of your return, use these steps:
On the top row of the
TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax
locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you
can type in “medical expenses, sch a” (be sure to enter exactly as shown
here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax,
click Find)
The search results will
give you an option to “Jump to medical expenses, sch a”
Click on the blue “Jump
to medical expenses, sch a” link
