If they are all valid medical expenses there is no need to move the changes to another field. Only the total of your medical expenses are entered on Schedule A as an itemized deduction. The different entry fields in the medical expense section are for the user to look for all the types of medical expenses to deduct.

For federal purposes, you don't have to fix anything. All medical expenses (net of any reimbursed parts) are treated the same. They are all added up, and then the total is reduced by 7.5% of AGI to arrive at the deductible amount. On schedule A, there is no breakdown just a total on line 1. Don't waste your time. If you have state income taxes, check the form on the state website to see if a breakdown is needed,
