Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@rocknrobbin You are correct that if your daughter received a 1095-C, she does not have to enter anything about her Health Insurance in her tax return.

 

If she wants to claim her out-of-pocket Medical Expenses, click this link for more info on How to Claim Medical Expenses.

 

If she doesn't qualify to claim Itemized Deductions (most people don't), you don't need to Amend her return, since claiming her Medical Expenses would not benefit her.

 

If she doesn't have Mortgage Interest, Property Tax, Charitable Deductions, in addition to her Medical Expenses, the Standard Deduction is probably best for her. 

 

Click this link for an article on Itemized Deductions with a calculator that may help you. 

 

You can also open TurboTax to enter her Medical Expenses to see if it changes her refund.

 

If so, she can Amend
