If we e-file our tax return, does TurboTax transmit to the
IRS more data than what the IRS would receive if the paper tax return had been
mailed to them by the taxpayer? For example,
when calculating our deductible medical expenses using TurboTax, we input
details about our total medical expense, such as prescription medicine, travel
mileage, insurance premium, etc. If we
e-file our tax return, does the IRS receive this detail? Or do they get only the exact same data as
shown on Schedule A (ie., total medical expense and the portion in excess of 7.5% of
our AGI)?
Thanks for your help.
