    Schedule A under miscellaneous deductions, includes things like gambling losses, casualty and theft losses, among others. To go back to your Schedule A and review your entries for the deductions that go in other deductions:

     

    1. Go to the Federal section
    2. Select "Deductions & Credits," 
    3. Enter your expenses (medical, taxes, interest, gifts)
