turbo doesn't want to let me update because "this deduction won't affect your taxes"

Medical Expenses are only deductible if you itemize your deductions.    You can switch to itemized to see the difference, but TurboTax will default to better (higher) deduction.   

 

How do I change from the standard deduction to itemized (or vice-versa)?    This link has instructions to manually change your deduction - you will be able to change it back and forth if you manually change it.
