I believe that the Turbo Tax software has an error. When I am entering medical expense deductions and I get to the page for deducting medical mileage, it requires that I have a mileage number greater than zero. I did not drive to any of my medical appointments because my retirement community provides me transportation to medical appointments without additional charge. However, Turbo Tax will not allow me to enter additional medical expenses after the medical mileage expense unless I lie on the tax return and say that I did drive to medical appointments. I feel that it is not good, and may land me in jail, if I knowingly lie on the tax return. Can Turbo Tax correct this error and allow me to enter a number of zero or allow me to delete the zero and have nothing in the box so that I accurately report the medical mileage on my federal income tax return and then am able to enter the remainder of medical expenses? I have a large amount of medical deduction for medical expenses which the retirement community pays for me as well as substantial amounts of medical insurance, which, with my state income taxes, means that I itemize my deductions -- so this is a critical issue for me. Please help me. Thank you.
