Yes, there is a place to enter your allocation of medical expenses. It comes up automatically, in the Ohio interview*. To get back there: At the screen titled "Take a look at Ohio Credits and Taxes", click edit next to joint filing credit.
How much do you allocate to each spouse? There is no hard and fast rule on how you allocate the amounts
between the spouses.
- If it's clear who paid it, e.g. it was deducted from one spouse's pay, allocate
it all to him
- You can split it 50-50.
- You can put it all to the higher earning spouse.
-
I proportion mine by percentage of income, e.g. if the wife earns 40% of the
income, allocate 40% of the adjustments to her.
*If your medical expenses do not exceed 7-1/2% of your federal AGI, you will get the medical adjustment box.
