Medical, dental, and vision expenses are reported on Schedule A and entered in the Deductions & Credits section.
- With your return open, search for Schedule A and then select the Jump to link in the search results.
- Answer YES to the ''Did you spend more than $XXX on medical costs?'' question. You can't get to the premiums screen if you answer no.
- Click through the screens and enter your expenses for RXs, Doctors, Facilities, Lab fees, Long-Term Care, Vision, and Supplies - they each have their own entry screen.
- Enter Travel expense on the next screen, hit Continue.
- Premiums are entered on this screen. You can combine all of your medical premiums you paid except for expenses you reported on another form or Long-Term Care Premiums. Those go on the line under Premiums, as they are limited based on your age.
To deduct unreimbursed, out-of-pocket medical, dental, and vision costs on your federal return:
- You must take the itemized deduction;
- The expenses for you, your jointly-filing spouse, and your dependent(s) must exceed 7.5% of your AGI (adjusted gross income); and
- Only the portion above and beyond 7.5% of your AGI is deductible.
